Anyone growing Persian Lime trees?

Never grew any so any suggestions? Pot or plant here in South Louisiana

Thanks

I have a Persian Lime in my garden. Last month it gave me 12 limes and it's still young so the branches were almost touching the ground. The limes were big and heavy. I trimmed the branches. Its just like every other citrus tree, not too much water and fertilize every 3 months. My soil is heavy clay and I haven't had any issues with it.

The tag says Thornless Key Lime, a synonym for Mexican lime. If the tags are correct then they are not Persian Lime - aka Palestine Sweet Lime. For example: https://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/our...varieties.html

Excellent! Now obtain Tahiti Lime - the cultivar "Bearss" is commonly available. That should round out your collection.

OK..It's late September here in south Louisiana should I plant my lime trees now or wait till February of next year? Your opinion is appreciated:]

I would say February. You might get an early frost and it might not make it.

I fear eventually my trees will get it too. But hopefully I can get atleast adecade before then. There are no commercially citrus for hundreds of miles from me.

Where are you located?
