{"product_id":"key-lime-tree-fl","title":"Key Lime Tree (FL)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the true lime — \u003cem\u003eCitrus aurantifolia\u003c\/em\u003e, also known as the Mexican lime, West Indian lime, or bartender's lime — and it tastes nothing like the big, blunt Persian limes stacked at the grocery store. The fruit is small, round, and golf-ball-sized, with a thin, smooth rind that ripens from green to a pale yellow-gold. What sets it apart is the flavor: a sharp, high, almost floral tartness wrapped in an unmistakable aromatic perfume. One squeeze and you understand why authentic key lime pie, classic margaritas, mojitos, and ceviche all insist on this lime and accept no substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor you can't buy fresh.\u003c\/strong\u003e True Key limes are rarely sold whole and bruise quickly in shipping, so growing your own is often the only way to taste them at their fragrant peak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy, year-round fruiting.\u003c\/strong\u003e In warmth this tree flowers and fruits almost continuously, so a single plant can keep a steady supply of limes coming rather than one short season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall fruit, intense return.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each lime is tiny but loaded with juice and aroma — a few are enough to flavor a whole pitcher, a marinade, or a dessert.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA natural for pots and patios.\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact and forgiving of root confinement, it thrives in a container that can summer outdoors and shelter inside when the cold arrives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFragrant white blossoms.\u003c\/strong\u003e Small, sweet-scented flowers appear in flushes through the year, perfuming a patio or sunroom long before the fruit ripens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYour plant may arrive in a grower Citra-pot.
