Lime Persian 1G

Persian Lime Tree

(Citrus × latifolia)

Persian Lime is a seedless, juicy lime prized for its bright green fruit, mild tartness, and high juice content. Perfect for fresh use, cocktails, cooking, marinades, desserts, and beverages, it’s a versatile addition to any home garden. Glossy evergreen foliage and fragrant white blossoms add ornamental value, making it ideal for patios, container gardens, and edible landscapes.

In Jacksonville (Zone 9b), Persian Lime thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. While moderately cold-hardy, it benefits from winter protection or container growth that can be moved indoors when temperatures approach freezing.

• Light: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily)

• Soil: Well-drained, sandy loam

• Size: 8–15 ft. in ground; smaller in containers
