{"product_id":"11111303979","title":"Lime 'Mexican-Key' Standard - 5 Gallon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mexican (Key) lime tree, also known as West Indian lime, is an evergreen fruit tree growing 6-13 (semi-dwarfs about 1\/2 to 2\/3 that size) feet tall with fragrant flowers and small green-yellow limes. It is sensitive to cold, tolerating frost damage at 32¡F, but it thrives in zones 10 and 11, like Southern California. It needs full sun (8+ hours daily) and prefers well-drained, sandy loam soil. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells. Mexican limes are harvested when green but can be left on the tree to turn yellow for increased sweetness. The fruit is juicy and tart with a distinctive fragrance, ideal for pies, drinks, or fresh use. Although it is a prolific producer and can bear fruit year-round, the heaviest production is usually in October and November. They are commonly grown for their edible qualities. This is a thorny tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCITRUS DETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCitrus Type: Limes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFruiting Harvest Time: Fall to Spring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClimate:   Coastal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeeds:   Seedy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePollination Needs:   Self-Pollinating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Form: Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlavor: Tart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Size:   Small to Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll citrus are sold with a three-year plant guarantee.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp class=\"disclaimer\"\u003e* Actual weight may vary\u003cbr\u003e ** Please allow 14 business days for delivery or in-store pick up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger's Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42852893884499,"sku":"11111303979","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1740\/1449\/files\/Mexican-KeyLime_54eff4e0-0b13-4c08-9fae-39025e164dcd.jpg?v=1752190057","url":"https:\/\/www.rogersgardens.com\/products\/11111303979","provider":"Roger's Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
