LIME TREE, Citrus latifolia

Dwarf Lime Tree The Lime Fruit is frequently used when green but they do colour to yellow if left on the lime tree. The lime fruit makes an attractive garnish, delicious juice and is used often in cooking.

Dwarf Lime - Tahitian

The small to medium fruit is pale lemon-yellow with smooth thin skin. The flesh is a translucent pale green, tender and juicy with a true acid lime flavour. It is best to pick the fruit green as it can suffer from rot if left to ripen on the tree.The dwarf rootstock, flying dragon modifies the top growth making this a dwarf plant that is ideal to use planted out or as a pot specimen.

Lime

Tahitian grows, crops and ripens well and stays on tree virtually all year. West Indian survives but does not fruit in our area | Anthony Miceli - Mornington, VIC 20-Feb-2006

Lime - Dwarf Tahitian

No particular problems. Grow as any other citrus. Heavy fruiting if given plenty of water and fertiliser. Likes a few good doses of potash. Fruit seedless and tangy. Juice can be frozen in ice cube trays and kept in freezer for instant juice all year. | David White - Newcastle, NSW 03-Jun-2006
