Bearss lime fruit appearance:

  • When ripe the fruit is dark green to pale green, depending on when you pick (see below discussion).
  • With increased ripening, small patches of yellow will appear as well as other changes (see below discussion).
  • The Bearss lime fruit is usually slightly smaller or similar in size to a standard lemon.
  • The skin is rather smooth and thin.
  • The flesh of the fruit is tightly clinging to the flesh and the pulp is light greenish-yellow when ripe.
  • The Bearss lime has a characteristic thin nipple on the blossom end of the fruit which is the leftover end of the flowers stigma.

Lime fruit has enjoyed a boost in popularity in the South-Africa in the past few decades. This has prompted many home gardeners to plant a lime tree of their own. Whether you live in an area where lime trees can grow outdoors year round or if you must grow your lime tree in a container, growing lime trees can be rewarding and fun.

When growing lime trees, make sure that where your lime tree will be planted will receive plenty of sunshine. If at all possible, choose a location that gets southern sun. Second, make sure the drainage is excellent. If you pay attention to no other lime tree tips, you must pay attention to this one. Growing lime trees in soil that does not have excellent drainage will kill your lime tree. Amend the soil in improve drainage to make sure that your lime tree will never be exposed to standing water. If planting in the ground, make sure the soil around the tree is a little higher than the ground outside the planting hole to prevent pooling of water around the lime tree. Third, when backfilling the hole or container, be sure to make sure that the soil is firmly in place around the root ball.
