The Key Lime Tree – Citrus aurantiifolia is a classic citrus tree loved for its small, aromatic limes, tart flavor, fragrant blooms, and glossy evergreen foliage. Key limes are famous for Key lime pie, but they are also wonderful for drinks, seafood, marinades, desserts, sauces, tea, and fresh lime juice.
Key Lime trees bring both beauty and usefulness to the garden. The tree can produce small round fruit that is usually picked green but turns yellow when fully ripe. The fruit has a strong lime aroma and a bright tart flavor that many customers prefer for cooking and homemade recipes.
In North Florida and the Florida Panhandle, Key Lime trees should be planted in full sun and very well-drained soil. Key Lime is more cold-sensitive than many hardy citrus varieties, so it is best grown in a warm, protected location or in a large container where it can be moved or covered during cold weather. A sunny patio, porch, or protected south-facing spot can be a good choice for local customers.
