  1. maybe, you are not tking care of it... it would surely not bear fruit


  2. Maybe this is so obvious that you've overlooked it, but perhaps it's not getting pollinated... you neglected to tell us whether it's (1) producing flowers, and (2) outside and available to visits by potential pollinators. Finally, although these limes appear to be self-compatible, you will have the most luck if there are other key lime plants in the area, so that bees have some pollen on their bodies from unrelated plants in the area.

  3. make pies with them

  4. maybe it isn't old enough yet how long you put it in the garden is it getting enough sun water
