It's Easy to Plant your Key Lime Tree
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Key Lime Tree. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Key Lime Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Key Lime Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Received my lime tree about 2 months ago.
It is doing wonderfully. I moved it inside three weeks ago and put a grow light over it and it is blooming and growing. Very nice plant. I am happy I bought this little tree.

Ross

I bought the 4-6 foot lime tree back in April. I planted it in a container and put it on my back porch. It has really thrived this year and I will be picking limes off it in the first season. I am really impressed with this tree and I recommend this company to my friends and neighbors.

I planted the tree in a huge pot because I have to put it in my greenhouse during the winder. The tree has put out new growth and appears to have adapted quite well to the pot .

I water it once or twice a week and use a fertilizer for citrus plants on it. Also, I use a water soluble fertilizer for acid loving plants (citrus plants love an acid soil) on it once a month.

Chris

Tree came almost fully grown, kept it inside in the winter with 8 hours of sun and it's outside now. Doesn't like too much water but very heat resistant with the summer we've had. Few fruits growing but I didn't fertilize as much as I should've this spring. Overall good buy

Halbert Ashworth

Growing nicely, blooming and producing a lot of limes.

Cheri Walter

big, healthy tree. Would appreciate pruning and fertilizing tips, as I am new to this type of tree. Anticipate decent yield next year (if I can over-winter it successfully indoors).
