Family: Rutaceae, Genus: Citrus

Description:

Citrus aurantiifolia, commonly known as the true lime, is a fragrant, ornamental tree with purple-tinged flower buds that open to waxy white blooms. Its smaller, sweeter fruit is ideal for culinary uses, and the tree thrives in full sun with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. This lime variety is perfect for container planting in colder climates.
