Compared to the related kabosu, sudachi are much smaller at 20–25 g (0.71–0.88 oz) [7] up to 40 g (1.4 oz) compared to 100–140 g (3.5–4.9 oz). Some California farms now grow sudachi on a commercial scale, after trees became readily available to nurseries around 2008. [11] The fruit is also being cultivated in Piura, Peru. [citation needed]
