If memory serves me, limes we use today are a post period subspecies
cross of lemon and key lime but i may be wrong, though in herbals a lime
tree is mentioned, it is a temperate deciduous tree fond in england and
the leaves are used.
for blue-blueberries are period european, they were called bilberries or
something like that- i haven't had my coffe yet so my mind hasnt started
firing on all 6 yet.
