Key Lime Citrus Tree

The Florida Key Lime, it is not just grown in Florida and can be found in many other locations. (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) is not the same as the Mexican Thornless lime. While the fruit is similar in size the foliage of the plants is very much different, as is most importantly the flavor of the two lime plants.

Mexican and Key fruit are much smaller than regular "Persian" limes. Key lime fruit  range in size from a ping-pong ball to a golf ball.

The peel is thin, smooth and greenish-yellow when ripe. The flesh is also greenish-yellow and full of highly poly embryonic seeds (two or more plants from one seed). The interior is divided by 10 to 12 segments, quite juicy and has a higher acidity than regular Persian limes. Key limes have a very distinctive aroma, which makes them valuable for culinary use.
