Mexican Thornless Lime Trees for Sale
Supporting nurseries and citrus suppliers with confidence
Mexican thornless lime trees are vigorous, productive citrus trees valued for their aromatic fruit and easier handling compared with more heavily thorned lime varieties. The trees develop dense green foliage and produce small, round to oval limes that mature from deep green to yellow as they ripen. Their thin rind surrounds juicy, highly acidic flesh with the bright, distinctive flavor commonly associated with Mexican limes.
TreeSource grows Mexican thornless lime trees on several rootstocks, including C35 Citrange, Carrizo, Macrophylla, and Rich 16-6. We recommend Volkameriana for its ability to support vigorous growth and productive trees, helping nurseries maintain healthy, reliable citrus inventory for their customers.

Mexican Lime Citrus Trees FAQs
Do you sell Mexican lime trees under specific cultivars, or are they standard Key lime varieties?
Mexican lime is also commonly known as Key lime, while the Mexican thornless lime is a thornless selection that retains the fruit characteristics nurseries and their customers expect from this type of lime. The fruit is small, approximately the size of a golf ball, and develops a yellow-green hue as it ripens.
Its bold, tangy flavor gives nurseries an appealing product to merchandise to home growers interested in limes for beverages, cooking, garnishes, and baking. Rather than selling only the tree itself, nurseries can highlight these recognizable fruit characteristics when helping customers select citrus for their homes.
Our Mexican thornless lime trees are grown with meticulous care to ensure they meet high-quality standards. We use certified budwood and follow strict sanitation practices to produce healthy and robust trees. Whether you are adding Mexican thornless lime trees to an existing citrus selection or building inventory for retail customers, TreeSource can support your nursery’s needs.
Are your Mexican lime trees grafted onto disease-resistant rootstocks?
At TreeSource Citrus Nursery, we recommend growing our Mexican thornless 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 rootstocks like Volkameriana boosts the tree’s resistance to diseases and improves fruit quality and consistency. For nurseries, these characteristics can support the development of healthy, marketable trees before they reach retail customers.
