With wonderfully fragrant flowers and vibrant green leaves, plus fruit you can use in drinks and pie, what is not to love about the Key Lime tree?!
Scientific Name: Citrus aurantifolia
Growth: Up to 6' indoors
Light: Full sun
Watering: Keep well watered. Water deeply once the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry to touch. Let is drain well after watering.
Pet Safe: No
Care: Intermediate
- Fertilize in early spring with a citrus specific fertilizer, or any fertilizer that has a Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium (NPK) ratio of 2:1:2. You can also add new compost in the spring. Make sure to only apply it to the dirt around the tree, as key lime trees can burn if the fertilizer touches the trunk or foliage.
- Pruning: Prune to maintain shape and smaller size. Should be done in the spring to encourage new growth and keep the shape compact. Remove any dead branches and keep the centre open so the fruit receives maximum light and can ripen.
Pests: Watch for scale. Citrus is very prone to it. Scale is a small insect that forms a little brown shell on the leaves and stems. You will know you have it if the leaves become glossy and sticky which is the honeydew residue from the insect. Scrap off the scale with your fingernail or for the squeamish, use a scouring pad and a little soap. Hose off in the shower, spray with Carly's FU bug spray and if it comes back change the soil completely. Other pests include white fly and mealy bugs.
