The Citrus Key Lime Shrub is prized for its aromatic, juicy, and flavorful fruits that measures about 2″ in size. Key Lime is a hybrid citrus fruit that is spherical and measures about 1 to 2 inches round. It’s green when picked but becomes yellow when ripe. Key Lime is most often used for its juice, which is sweet and tart and a signature ingredient in desserts and cocktails. Compared to a Persian Lime, it’s smaller and has more seeds to remove, higher acidity, a stronger aroma, and a thinner rind.

HOW TO GROW Citrus plants need a very bright space in order to thrive indoors. Ideally they need a bright, south facing room with large windows. They usually flower in late winter, and fruits take a year to develop, so you’ll often see fruit and flowers on the plant at the same time. The creamy white flowers are beautiful and very fragrant.

Citrus are hungry plants that require a lot of nutrients in order to produce flowers which turn into fruit, so feed them regularly during the growing season (Easter through Thanksgiving) with a fertilizer that is specific to citrus plants. Citrus trees don’t need regular pruning but, if necessary, thin out crowded branches in the winter and cut back the top shoot to promote bushy growth. In summer, pinch out the most vigorous growing tips. Rotate the plant often so that it achieves an attractive, even growth rate.
