Bearss Lime

i have no idea what kind of lime tree i have, but the buds are beginning to balloon. removing the palm tree a few feet to the south has brought much more sunlight to the tree, so i hope to get more than three limes this year.

I have one bearss lime tree that gives me the occasional lime, but it tends to grow straight up. There is a pecan tree blocking a lot of sun from it. Guess which tree is coming down…Pecan. Richard, your limes look great, so does your tree. I could only hope for that big of a harvest.

… and there’s still a lot of ripe fruit on the tree

To the left is our pomegranate and to the right a Eureka Lemon.

My Mexican Limes are also coming in fast and furious. Too many to keep up with (even after making Lime squares lol). My wife has started to take them to work to give to friends.

Someone should convince limes to ripen during the gin-and-tonic season

Bearss is an everbearing cultivar.

Mine are only winter-bearing

“Winter”- now that’s funny.

Labeled as such

If we had Richard’s climate, ours would be ever bearing too.
