Characteristics and uses:
The Mexican Lime, which produces green limes, is a small, evergreen shrub with fragrant blossom. It can flower all year round in the right environment; therefore it can produce small, sharp and juicy green limes continually; These fruits are harvested before they reach maturity and used frequently in cooking.
The lime has to be protected from cold in winter (pot and foliage), as it can start losing its leaves as soon as temperatures fall below 4°C. However, this protection is only necessary if the temperature does not go up during the day.
In the coldest areas, shelter your Mexican Lime in a conservatory, or a non-heated room during winter.
All limes end up yellow, it's physiological! The initially colorless flesh turns yellow/orange; the subtle pungent, bitter and sweet mixture of the flesh disappears to give way to a sweet or even bland flavor at the end of maturity.
The consumption of these overripe fruits is tastefully inadvisable; harvesting should be done when the lemons are still green, usually in early fall.
Plant them now: the shortest way to your plate is through your garden!
Looking after advice:
Watering: As Citruses do not like dryness it is important to water them regularly, but not abundantly. In summer, water every day if necessary, in winter water once or twice a week.
Fertilizer: From March to October, give it a suitable citrus' fertilizer once a month.
Pruning: Prune regularly in the spring and in summer to encourage ramification and keep it in the wished for shape. - Related Categories
