Citrus x latifolia - Persian Lime

Add item to quote to see pricing

Citrus x latifolia is more popularly recognized as the Persian Lime, a lush, evergreen tree that serves as a remarkable addition to any landscape. Towering between 20 to 30 feet with a vivid burst of shiny, ovate leaves, it stands as a radiant symbol of sub-tropical appeal. Just as pleasing to the senses are its petite, fragrant blossoms that elegantly adorn the tree. The real draw, however, is its aromatic, green limes. Not only do these fruits provide a pop of vibrant color against the green foliage, but they are widely celebrated in culinary circles for their distinctive taste, infusing a splash of tangy, yet subtle sweetness into a myriad of dishes and beverages. While the Persian Lime demands a full sun exposure and well-drained soil, its steady growth, generous fruit yield, and resistance to severe frost make it an incredibly rewarding feature for both home gardens and broader landscapes. Add a Persian Lime to your space for a verdant, sensory enriching experience that exudes a touch of the exotic while promising a bountiful harvest.
