Description
Citrus X Aurantifolia Key Lime showcases 5-petaled white flowers with light purple-tinged margins, white stamens, and yellow anthers. The flowers adorn the aromatic, glossy, elliptical, green leaves. Key Lime is a spiny evergreen fruit tree ideal for patios and containers. The flowers give way to fragrant, rounded fruit with juicy green pulp and an acidic taste. The fruit changes its color to pale yellow when ripe. Key Lime grows best in fertile, well-drained soils and full sun.
