Mexican Key Lime Tree
The tree behind every real margarita and key lime pie, the Mexican Key Lime produces small, intensely aromatic limes packed with tart, floral juice that bottled lime juice can't touch. It's everbearing, which means you're not waiting for one big harvest. Ripe limes show up in flushes nearly year-round in warm climates, so there's almost always fruit somewhere on the tree.
Compact and naturally bushy, this is one of the easiest citrus trees to keep happy in a container on a patio or in the ground in a sunny backyard corner. The thin, smooth skin and seedy little limes are exactly what you remember from real Florida key lime pie, because this is the same tree.
