ʻMexicanʻ ʻBartendersʻ ʻCoronaʻ thornless LIME
A thornless variety of the Mexican Key Lime offers a medium-sized and bushy appearance, with distinctively aromatic leaves when crushed. Its pure white and fragrant blossoms add to its ornamental charm. This tart and flavorful lime is highly sought after for its use in Key Lime pie and margaritas. The fruits are small, almost round, with a thin, smooth, greenish-yellow rind at maturity, emitting a delightful fragrance. Inside, the flesh is juicy, greenish-yellow, seedy, and highly acidic, boasting a fine texture. Mexican Key Limes typically reach full maturity in autumn to early winter, at which point they naturally drop from the tree. Grafted onto semi-dwarf rootstock, Mexican Key Lime trees generally reach heights of 12 to 18 feet when planted in the ground and 6 to 8 feet when grown in pots. With its ornamental beauty, culinary versatility, and manageable size, the thornless Mexican Key Lime is a prized addition to any garden or container collection.
