How do I tell what kind of lime tree I have?

Question

I thought I had a Persian Lime, but just read that they don't have thorns! My tree does! I live in southern Florida and have had the tree for about 2 years now. It had one lime on it when I planted it in my yard. It has not flowered since! Help!!!!

Answer 1

ask a florist, see wat they say

Answer 2

There are still many Key Lime trees throughout the Florida Keys in backyards , commercial production is only on a very small scale. Though they do seem to be making a slight comeback as a Florida crop in recent years.

Key limes are small, somewhat larger than a walnut, oval in shape with a thin yellowish rind which are prone to splotchy brown spots. They are aromatic and very juicy, with a stronger and more complex acidic flavor than Persian limes. The evergreen trees are 7 to 8 feet tall, shrubby, crooked and thorny, with shiny green leaves. Both Persian and Key Limes have a higher sugar and citric acid content than lemons, and Key limes are more acidic than Persian.

hope this can help.
