Persian Lime

Citrus x latifolia

The seedless lime of every bar and kitchen, on a thornless tree that carries a heavier crop than a Key lime and shrugs off more cold. Fruit sizes up through summer and holds well on the tree.

Growing Persian Lime in Central Florida

Full sun and drainage that never waterlogs. Thornless and well behaved, so it suits a spot people walk past. Pick while still deep green; a lime left to yellow has passed its best for juice.
