Limes are closely related to lemons. They even look similar to them, especially once they have fully ripened. Until reaching maturity, limes are quite sour tasting. But unlike the lemon, the best lime tree harvest time is just before it turns yellow.

One of the most popular lime trees is the Key lime, or Mexican lime. Lime trees are frost/ cold sensitive, keep them sheltered from wind and provide plenty of sunlight, especially if you want to harvest good-sized fruit. Lime tree are small and leafy, and grow to 10 feet (3 meters).
Adequate drainage is also a necessity.
Lime tree harvest generally takes place during summer. Limes take about three to four months until they reach peak flavor. However, in some regions (zones 7-11), green limes can be harvested year round.

It's Easy to Plant your Key Lime tree. Directions:

Plant your seeds or tree in an area that receives full to partial sunlight. Although Lime Trees prefer full sun, they can tolerate shade. If planted indoors place your Lime Tree by a large sunny window. 

Lime Trees prefer acidic soil but will adapt to your natural soil even if it's sandy or heavy in clay as long as it's well draining. Water your Lime Tree twice a week, and be sure that the soil doesn't get over saturated. Apply a citrus fertilize to your tree four times a year. 

Flowers will be on your tree year around but a higher concentration of flowers appears in the Spring. Once the flowers are pollinated and limes start to grow it takes about four months for them to mature. Limes only ripen on the tree. Don't pick them until they turn a light yellow green color, this is when they're the sweetest and juiciest. Thank you. Enjoy!
