I have a Key Lime tree. These are not the large green limes you see in the grocery store. Those are Persian limes.

Key Limes are about twice the size of a golf ball and are yellow when ripe. The juice is quite tart.

The tree was already planted and producing when I bought the house 4 years ago.

Fairfield Nursery on 301 is a good place to buy citrus trees.
