Flowering
From Mid Summer TO Mid Summer
Pendulous clusters of fragrant flowers appear in mid Summer, followed by winged fruits.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Lime trees prefer soil that is not acidic. Plant in a sunny or partially sunny site, sheltered from the wind, in moist but free-draining soil. Water well while the tree is getting established, ensuring that the water gets to the roots. Keep weed-free - mulching will help
