Lime

Brief Description

Lime is a small, round citrus fruit that is typically green in color and known for its tart flavor. The tree can grow to about 3-6 meters and has glossy, green leaves. It produces fragrant white flowers and small green fruit that, when ripe, are commonly used in cooking, drinks, and as a garnish.

Care Instructions

Lime trees thrive in well-drained soil and require plenty of sunlight, ideally 8 hours per day. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging, and fertilize during the growing season. Pruning is beneficial to maintain shape and promote fruiting.

Medicinal Value

Limes are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help boost the immune system, improve skin health, and may aid in digestion. The essential oils from lime peels are also used in aromatherapy for their refreshing scent.
