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.
Finding green growth on your lime tree branches is a sign that something isnât right with the tropical plant. Despite its appearance, the growth on the branches probably isnot mold, but, instead, moss, lichen or algae. If, however, the substance is growing on the fruit, then the lime tree is infected with green mold. Lime Tree Information The lime tree (Citrus aurantifolia) is a tropical fruit tree that can reach heights of up to 20 feet tall and grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11.
