Persian Lime Tree – Citrus × latifolia

Persian Lime is a popular lime tree known for its larger, juicy, mostly seedless fruit and classic tart lime flavor. Also called Tahiti Lime, this citrus variety is widely used for drinks, cooking, marinades, seafood, limeade, desserts, and fresh lime juice.

Persian Lime trees produce fragrant white citrus blooms, glossy evergreen foliage, and attractive green to yellow-green fruit. This variety is a great choice for patios, containers, edible landscapes, home gardens, small-space gardens, and citrus collections. Because limes are more cold-sensitive than many other citrus varieties, Persian Lime should be protected during freezing weather.
