Hi all, A while ago I posted about a Myer's Lemon tree and found out a lot of you grow more than figs. Thought I would share a picture of my lime tree which is out enjoying the North Carolina weather. I have no idea what type as it was bought at a going out of business sale. Always produced limes. It's currently got a bit of scale but I'll deal with that after the harvest. I think there is a dozen limes on it. __________________ Wish List: @Hmari, @Maltese beauty, @Col de Dame Grise, @Bryant Dark, @Lynhurst White, @Melcedonia Dark, @Panevino Dark, @Paradiso

That's a nice looking tree. I have a small Ponderosa lemon and Meyer lemon going right now. I haven't had success with citrus - I've killed 2 others over the past several years. I'm feeling it now, though. I feel ready to make it work. I hope :) __________________ Arne Zone 6a - NJ

Those limes are gold right now. A case of limes that used to wholesale at $10 is now it $90 or more. Bartenders are be hit real hard. "gene" ps: very nice tree. __________________ From the bayou, "gene" zone 9 Houma, La.

Sounds good. Can wait until they are ripe. The dog keeps eying them trying to figure if tennis balls grow on trees. It's budding again too. __________________ Wish List: @Hmari, @Maltese beauty, @Col de Dame Grise, @Bryant Dark, @Lynhurst White, @Melcedonia Dark, @Panevino Dark, @Paradiso

The previous owner of my house planted a Mexican lime tree behind the pool bar ...for his margaritas. It is about 9 feet tall and wide. I never water it, but it gets loaded with a couple bushels of limes every year. They are the little ones, so that's a lot of limes! Hope you like to drink a lot of margaritas. __________________ Paul the Fig Tree Destroyer in Fallbrook, CA (Zone 10A )
