Default Lime trees

I see many orange & lemon trees around The Villages. I wonder if anyone has had luck with lime trees in this locale.

Default limes

I bought a cocktail tree. 5 different fruits. So far the only thing I've had are limes. They were darn good. Was told it'll take another season before I see the other fruits.
