The Mexican Thornless lime, also known as Key lime, is the bartender`s lime, with the added bonus of having no thorns. For baking, this variety's claim to fame is its use in making Key lime pie. An additional benefit of the thornless strain is that the fruit is larger, ripening in late fall. Evergreen. Full sun. Moderate grower to 15 feet tall, 6 to 8 feet wide or clip to shape. Mature fruit is small, green to yellow green ripening in July to December. Can be grown indoors during the winter for those in extreme winter areas. Fragrant white flowers in early spring Hardy to USDA zone 10 and all higher zones. Outstanding small tree for large terra cotta pots in the Italian style that may be moved for winter protection in marginal areas. Shipped as a well established plant in its original soil and container.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really ship citrus trees this time of the year?
Since we ship all of our trees potted in soil with established root systems, yes, it is something we can offer. We ship trees up to four feet tall.

How are the trees prepared to make such a journey in the winter?
We insulate the trees prior to shipping if necessary, and then carefully box them, adding additional protective measures to absorb excessive vibration or movement while in transit. The root balls are then bagged to hold in moisture while the trees are on their way, with an additional card board collar placed over the tree to provide additional protection from the elements. Some leaf drop may occur, but the tree, once moved to a proper and safe location should re-foliate very quickly.
