Mexican lime (Key lime, West Indian lime) is the common round lime grown especially in Mexico, Florida and the West Indies. The smaller roundish and seedy Mexican lime is used throughout the U.S. in pies, cooking, beverages & tacos!  The color varies from dark green when immature to a yellowish green when ripe. All green lime types turn fully yellow when mature and soon thereafter drop from the tree. For marketing purposes limes are collected when still green. This was originally done to avoid confusion with lemons. For food and drinks the Mexican lime is at its juiciest and best medium ripe, when still partly green. (I like them when they are yellow!)  This is the Key lime of food recipes. Mexican lime trees can are great for long summers and frost free winters. 

Projected Harvest:  Fall to Winter, although somewhat everbearing
