The Mexican lime is best known as the main flavouring ingredient for Key Lime pie (as in the Florida Keys). Lime is excellent for cooking as they are very tart/bitter Limes. Lime has easy peel with thin skin. Fruit is small, strongly flavoured and turns yellow when ripe (can be picked green), it can be picked all year round but the main harvest season will occur during summer. Tree has a compact habit and is frost tender. Sometimes referred to as West Indian Lime or Bartender's Lime.
