The trees are moderately-sized and bushy, almost shrub-like, and the leaves are distinctively aromatic when crushed.  Some selections are quite thorny, while other selections are thornless. Mexican lime trees are sensitive to cold. The blossoms are pure white and fragrant. The fruits are small, approximately one and one-half inches in diameter, and almost round, with a thin, smooth, greenish-yellow rind at maturity that is especially fragrant. The flesh is greenish-yellow, seedy, and highly acidic, with a fine texture.  Once Mexican limes reach full maturity, usually in autumn to early winter, they drop from the tree.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit very small, round, obovate or short-elliptical; base usually rounded but sometimes with slight neck; apex also rounded but usually with small, low, and faintly furrowed nipple.  Moderately seedy and highly polyembryonic.  Rind very thin; surface smooth, leathery; tightly adherent; color greenish-yellow at maturity, following which it drops from the tree.  Segments 10 to 12; axis very small and usually solid.  Flesh color greenish-yellow; fine-grained, tender, juicy; highly acid with distinctive aroma.  Somewhat everbearing but crop comes mainly in winter (earlier in very hot climates).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTree medium in vigor and size, spreading and bushy with numerous, slender, willowy fine-stemmed branchlets densely armed with small, slender spines.  Foliage dense and consists of small, pale green, broadly lanceolate, blunt-pointed leaves with definitely winged petioles.  Flower buds and flowers small, and flowering occurs throughout year but mainly in spring and late summer.  Not withstanding contrary statements in the literature, the new shoot growth is faintly purple-tinted and flower buds and young flowers faintly purple-tinged.  Coloration fades rapidly, however, especially if the weather is warm, and is soon lost.  Very sensitive to cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBecause of the relatively high degree of polyembryony exhibited by this fruit, it comes remarkably true to seed, and seed propagation is still employed in most of the countries where its culture is important.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRootstocks of accession: \u003cspan\u003eYuma Ponderosa lemon\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeason of ripeness at Riverside, California: \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOctober to December.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePrepared by the Givaudan Citrus Variety Collection at The University of California Riverside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cpp.ucr.edu","offers":[{"title":"3 buds","offer_id":52986814890278,"sku":null,"price":43.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 buds budstick","offer_id":52986814923046,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5730\/1030\/files\/image_3a9487f0-3f3a-4fab-bbb5-326aebddefc2.png?v=1775484102","url":"https:\/\/evergreenbotany.com\/tr\/products\/mexican-lime-budwood","provider":"EVERGREEN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
