Bearss or Persian Lime Grafted Citrus TreeA citrus fruit grown commercially in the U.S. and sold simply as the 'lime'.Fragrant white flowers when in bloom.This is the lime commonly used for drinks and cooking. It is a heavy bearer of juicy, lemon-sized fruit in winter to early spring growing into a rounded, densely branched, form.The fruit is usually sold quite green, although it yellows as it reaches full ripeness.It is larger, thicker-skinned, and less aromatic than the Key Lime.The advantages of the Persian lime compared to the Key lime are the larger size, absence of seeds, hardiness, absence of thorns on the trees, and longer fruit life.They are less acidic than key limes and don't have the bitterness that lends to the key lime's unique flavor.So no matter where you live, a citrus tree will add a sweet fragrance, delicious fruit, and ornamental appeal to your home or garden.We offer only the top choice of easy to grow Grafted Citrus varieties for your home patio/container garden.A grafted citrus, is a tree that will not get over 6-7 feet tall at maturity, but yet will bear full sized fruit.
