Mexican Lime

Growing from Coastal Southern California into the Southwestern Desert the Mexican Lime is highly sought after for its perfect fruit. Drinks, deserts, seasoning, garnish, green-friendly cleaners, and more are just a few reasons the Mexican Lime is so popular. This lime while its tiny stature is robust in perfect lime flavor and extremely juicy. This Lime has many other monikers it goes by including, Key Lime, Bartender's Lime, and West-Indian Lime, these are all the same Citrus aurantifolia 'Mexican'.

The Lime flowers begin to open in late winter and early spring filling the air with that beautiful citrus smell. After the blooming cycle, little green pea-sized fruit will begin to grow. The Mexican Lime can be harvested from a light green color till it turns yellow on the tree, giving these a long hang time meaning you can get more use out of your produce. The fact that these trees can be somewhat ever-bearing means you're never far from fresh limes straight from the source.
