Growing from Coastal Southern California and 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 a just a few reasons why the Mexican Lime is so popular. This lime while its tiny stature is robust in perfect lime flavor and extremely juicy as well. This Lime has many other monikers it goes by including, Key Lime, Bartender's Lime, West Indian Lime, just to name a few but these are all the same Citrus aurantifolia 'Mexican'.
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 set on the tree. The Mexican Lime can be harvested from a light green color till they turn 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 your never far from fresh limes straight from the source.
