Lime Time

When we redid the back yard last summer one of the things I did was take out a lime tree I had planted 7 or 8 years prior that wasn't producing any fruit. It would flower and bloom every year, but it never did produce any fruit. Not once in all those year did I see a bee or a humingbird go near it. I asked several friend who know much more about cultivation than myself and no one had a good answer for me. Our lemon tree has always done very well, why not the lime?

Geri bitched and moaned about taking it out, saying things like, "You're killing a living organism.", but I was resolute in my decision to pull that sucker out of the ground, and plant a new lime tree that would actually give us some fruit. We live in the city, and square footage is at a premium here. That tree was taking up real estate. I planted this one in the herb garden were I thought it would be get the  best exposure to light, and by god it produced some limes this year, two. It's not what you would call a bumper crop, but it's just the first year.

Today I picked my two limes, and I am very happy to say we now have a lime tree that actually produces fruit/food.

It's the little things in life that are important.

Peace,
