The Classic Citrus for Tart, Zesty Flavors

Common Names: Key Lime, Mexican Lime Tree, West Indian Lime Tree, Bartender's Lime Tree
Family: Rutaceae
Origin: Southeast Asia (Cultivated extensively in the Caribbean and Florida)

This Key Lime Tree (Citrus aurantiifolia) is a small citrus tree known for producing the famous Key Lime fruit, renowned for its tart, aromatic flavor. Often associated with the Florida Keys, this lime is a staple in many classic recipes, including the iconic Key Lime pie. Its small, juicy fruit packs a powerful citrus punch, making it a must-have for those who love to cook, bake, or simply enjoy a refreshing lime twist in their beverages.

Distinctive Features and Uses

Fruits: Key Limes are small, usually around 1-2 inches in diameter, with a thin, smooth, greenish-yellow skin when ripe. The flesh is pale green and packed with juice, offering a sharp, tangy flavor that is more intense than that of the common Persian lime. The fruit is typically used when fully ripe and yellow but can also be harvested green for a more acidic taste. Key Limes are perfect for use in pies, marinades, cocktails, and any dish that benefits from a zesty citrus kick.

Leaves: The tree has glossy, dark green leaves that are aromatic when crushed, adding to the overall sensory appeal of the plant.

Growth Habit: Key Lime trees are relatively small, usually growing to about 6-10 feet tall, making them ideal for container growing or small gardens. They are evergreen and can produce fruit year-round in warm climates.
