Customer Tips & Reviews Lime - West Indian Seedling
Lime - West Indian Seedling
Tastier than Tahitian and perfect for cocktails and mixed with soda water. Makes a really great marmalade. I found the tree to be resilient, growing and fruiting fast and prolifically. Many spikes! Recommend trimming away the lower branches.
Lime - West Indian Seedling

North Lakes, QLD
Nearly always has fruit - lived in a pot for the first 2 years after I bought it.
