Lime - Tahitian Kathyturner's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5229 days 23hrs Comments: - Easy to grow; Beautiful perfumed flowers; Fruits easily and quickly. Most of the fruit drops off (sting bugs? or too much fertilizer? Tring less blood and bone and giving some potash to encourage fruiting (it gets a lot of flowers!) Planted: 2007 Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Summer Pollination: No Fertiliser or Organics Used: blood and bone; manure Pest Control: Only problem: citrus stink bug. They denude branches and suck the sap from developing fruit causing fruit drop. Once I see them, I flick to the ground (with a stick) and stamp on them to kill them.
