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.
Harvest your citrus fruit before you trim the tree, sometime in late winter to early spring. When you harvest depends on the type of citrus you grow. In Southern California, mandarins ripen primarily from October to March and Meyer lemons ripen from November to March. Pick all fruit before you attempt to prune.
