Citrus × latifolia – Lime

Citrus × latifolia – Lime is a Persian or Tahiti lime type with glossy evergreen leaves, scented white flowers and medium-sized limes with aromatic green rind. It forms a woody branching tree in warm climates and stays manageable in a container with seasonal pruning, regular feeding and bright frost-free winter care.

The fruit is usually picked green for fresh acidity, although mature limes can turn yellow on the tree. In pot culture, Citrus × latifolia develops a rounded branching crown, repeated leaf flushes during warm bright periods and fruiting wood that needs full sun and a well-aerated root zone.

Persian lime foliage, flowers and green fruit

  • Fruit: Medium-sized limes with aromatic rind and juicy segmented flesh.
  • Leaves: Evergreen, glossy leaves with a clean citrus scent when bruised.
  • Growth habit: Woody branching tree that can be kept compact in a pot.
  • Flowers: White scented citrus blooms that can develop into fruit under strong light.
  • Pot culture: Movable lime tree for full sun, drainage and bright winter rest above about 10°C.

Persian lime hybrid background and growth habit

Citrus × latifolia is an artificial hybrid citrus in Rutaceae and is commonly known as Persian lime or Tahiti lime. Its complex hybrid background involves Citrus hystrix, Citrus maxima, Citrus medica and Citrus reticulata, reflecting the layered ancestry behind many cultivated limes.

In a container, the plant builds a woody framework with glossy leaves and flushes of new growth during warm bright periods. Strong summer light increases the chance of flowering and gives developing fruit enough time to size before the cooler season.

Persian lime seasonal container care

  • Light: Give full sun during the outdoor growing season. Under cover, use the brightest possible position and supplement light if winter conditions are dim.
  • Water: Water deeply, then wait until the upper part of the substrate has dried before watering again. Keep winter watering lighter in cool conditions.
  • Substrate: Use a citrus substrate with excellent drainage and lasting air spaces. Add mineral components if the mix compacts quickly.
  • Wintering: Move under protection before nights fall below about 10°C. A bright place around 10–12°C keeps growth slower and watering easier to control.
  • Nutrition: Use citrus fertiliser from spring through early autumn. Include micronutrients, as potted limes can yellow when iron, magnesium or manganese availability drops.
  • Potting: Keep the plant in a drainage pot and repot gradually in spring when roots fill the container.
  • Fruit set: Outdoor pollinators usually handle fruit set in summer. Under cover, hand-pollinate fresh flowers if the plant blooms inside.
  • Crown care: Remove weak inward growth and shorten long shoots after harvest to keep the tree open and easy to move.

Persian lime foliage and fruit checks

  • Brown leaf edges: Review drying winds, salt buildup, irregular watering and heat behind glass.
  • Heavy fruit load on a small plant: Check branch strain and watering consistency. Thin fruit if the young tree is carrying more than the crown can hold.
  • Yellow leaves after winter: Check root moisture, temperature and feed timing. Cold damp substrate can reduce nutrient uptake even when fertiliser is present.
  • Pest marks: Inspect leaf undersides and stems for spider mites, scale, whitefly and mealybug before moving the plant under winter protection.

Persian lime peel oils and name

Peel, leaves and citrus oils can irritate pets that chew lime material. Remove dropped fruit, loose leaves and cut stems where pets can reach them, and prune carefully around thorny shoots.

The generic name Citrus is drawn from older Latin citrus naming. The epithet latifolia means broad-leaved, from Latin latus for broad and folium for leaf. Citrus × latifolia sits within Rutaceae and is commonly known as Persian lime or Tahiti lime.

Quality Holder
Color: White
Very quality holder and very sturdy and stable. I purchased it back in April, and it has been holding up nicely. I would definitely say that it is worth the price. I love that it's adjustable, so if I ever decide I want to new PC case, I can still use it (as long as it fits the dimensions of the holder). Putting it together and mounting it was simple. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that it did not come with screws, and I had to purchase some. I hope that has been changed since then.

Awesome holder. Follow the directions. This appears to be German manufactured and very well thought out. Great having my rig off my desk - more room for my second monitor!

Pretty damn good, instructions are on the right in English. Took me a hot minute to find it and was so close to getting back into Duolingo and learning German.

Good fit and nice sharp holesaw included
The hole made by the included holesaw was the perfect size for the insert. They work well and cosmetically look much better than a raw hole in the wood. I tried the cable wrap and inserter and both make the job of wrapping and securing the cables much easier. Overall a good product and a good value.

Great for small projects. Nice fit.
I purchased this set while building a couple of end tables. They fit like a glove and it's really nice that they come with the hole saw bit. It's a great set for what you get.
