Limon Verde

(Citrus aurantifolia Swingle )

Key limes in my backyard. Tree recuperated from last year's hurricanes

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.
