Sorry folks, but Key Limes is going "OFF THE AIR" for a while.The recent freezes in Central Florida have not left a Key Lime tree standing so it will be a great while until we can get some going. Meanwhile I have some seeds coming in from Puerto Rico and as soon as I get them and test them, I will post right here on the webpage. I will remove the ordering info so you cannot make a mistake and order until the time is right. Those of you that recently purchased some seeds and they are not germinating, please e-mail me so I can set up some credit for you.
Thanks for you patience.......
Limon Verde
(Citrus aurantifolia Swingle )
Also known as: Key Lime, Puertorican Limón, Mexican Lime, Bartenders Lime
Small, bushy tree, rarely taller than 12 feet with slender branches armed with short spines. Its dense foliage consists of small, pale green, blunt-pointed leaves with narrowly winged petioles (leaf stalks).
Limones are precocious (develops exceptionally early) when grown from cuttings or air layers and may produce some fruit within a year of planting. Seedling trees require another year or two before fruiting.
Limones are frequently propagated from seed since it is true-to-type due to its high degree of polyembryony (more than one plant from each seed). Key lime may also be propagated with hard wood cuttings, or with air layers.
The juciest limes you have ever tasted ! It takes 4-6 years before the trees start producing from seed, but when they start, you'll have limes daily.
