Squeeze the limes in your palm. Limes are ready to pick when they give slightly under gentle pressure. A lime that is still hard is not yet ripe and won't be juicy. Pick one lime, cut into it and sample its fruit. If the lime feels heavy for its size and the fruit inside tastes fresh and acidic, it is ready to be eaten.
The steps for how to plant a lime tree are pretty much the same whether you plan on planting it in the ground or in a container. First, when growing lime trees, make sure that where your lime tree will be planted will receive plenty of sunshine. If at all possible, choose a location that gets southern sun. Second, make sure the drainage is excellent. If you pay attention to no other lime tree tips, you must pay attention to this one.
