Key Lime (Citrus × aurantiifolia)

Healthy and vibrant

The Key lime tree has adapted well to my garden, though it's only been a couple weeks and Florida citrus struggles in general. I use a copper-neem spray I make myself to keep away the bugs and fungus, and I've found that citrus likes oak, so I mulch with oak leaves. I also fertilize with compost tea. The tree is showing signs of growth, so I have been fertilizing. I don't lose my trees as a general rule, and they do not have greening. I have high hopes that we will get along very well, my little Key Lime and I.

My Keylime came in perfect packaging. I left it in the packaging and watered it for about two weeks. Waiting to get citrus soil now that it’s in its new home. It is growing beautifully. I’ll let you know when I get fruit.I actually gave it to my neighbor but they leave in a about a month so I will take care of it for them till they return next winter
