Description
It has never been easier to grow your own Lime Tree here in the UK. Once matured, your Mexican Lime Tree will produce delicious and vitamin C packed Lime’s year after year. In the meantime, you can enjoy its highly perfumed blossom from late spring into early summer. Citrus tree will thrive in a centrally heated home, but if you do want to grow yours outside, remember to protect it over winter by either brining it indoors or providing a protective layer. Supplied in a 9cm pot, ready to pot on.
Top Tips

We recommend using our Soluble Citrus Fertiliser to ensure your trees grow into big, healthy specimens and, most importantly, bear lots of juicy fruit!

For best results, bring indoors to cool area for winter.

Feed with specialist feed every month in spring and summer growth - they are hungry fellows.

Care Information
  • The sweetly-fragranced flowers appear all year round, especially in late winter, and fruit ripens up to 12 months later - so plants are often in flower and fruiting at the same time.
  • Citrus tend not to thrive in centrally heated homes, so from mid-Jun to late September, give plants a treat and transfer them outside to make the most of the available sunshine - but remember they are not frost tolerant so will need bringing under cover if cold nights threaten.
  • In summer, water freely - ideally with rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away.
  • Overwatering in winter is one of the commonest problems, so try to keep them on the dry side.
  • Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched.
