Mexican Lime Citrus Trees FAQs
Do you sell Mexican lime trees under specific cultivars, or are they standard Key lime varieties?
We offer Mexican lime trees that are standard Key lime varieties. The Key lime and Mexican lime are the same species but differ in name only due to their growing regions. Key limes grown in the Florida Keys differ from those grown in Mexico. Mexican key limes are smaller than your average grocery store lime and have less juice, much like the Key limes found in the Florida Keys. However, Mexican key lime juice can be more bitter than traditional or Florida limes.
Mexican lime trees are known for their distinctive characteristics. The fruit is small, about the size of a golf ball, and has a yellow-green hue when ripe. These limes are highly valued for their bold, tangy flavor, perfect for culinary uses such as garnishing dishes, making beverages, and baking pies. The trees are moderate in stature, making them suitable for spacious and compact gardens.
Our Mexican lime trees are grown with meticulous care to ensure they meet the highest quality standards. We use certified budwood and follow strict sanitation practices to produce healthy and robust trees. Whether you’re looking to add a citrus Mexican lime tree to your nursery or provide your customers with quality citrus trees, we have you covered.
Are your Mexican lime trees grafted onto disease-resistant rootstocks?
At TreeSource Citrus Nursery, we recommend growing our Mexican lime trees on Volkameriana rootstock for compatibility and growth success. Volkameriana is known for its disease resistance and ability to enhance citrus trees' overall health and productivity. This rootstock helps protect the trees from common diseases, ensuring robust growth and higher yields.
Grafting onto disease-resistant rootstocks like Volkameriana boosts the tree’s resistance to diseases and improves fruit quality and consistency. This makes our Citrus Mexican Lime Trees a reliable choice for nurseries looking to provide high-quality citrus trees to their customers.
Are the Mexican lime trees shipped in dormant or active growth phases?
We can ship dormant Mexican lime trees as they go dormant during the winter, but retain their leaves. The size they are received will be the size they reached before dormancy. We ensure all trees, regardless of dormancy, meet our standard of quality and size before being shipped. This guarantees that your Citrus Mexican Lime Trees will be healthy and ready to thrive once planted. Our commitment to quality ensures that you receive the best possible trees.
