| Botanical Name | Citrus aurantifolia 'Mexican' |
| Description | The Mexican (Key) Lime is a must-have for any Texas edible garden. This 3-gallon (3G) bush form is ideal for decorative pots on a sunny patio. It produces small, aromatic fruits perfect for pies and beverages. Because it is sensitive to cold, you must **protect from freeze (especially the graft)**. The bush form is convenient for Houston and Willis growers who need to move their plants indoors or under cover during a freeze. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (At least 6-8 hours for best fruit production) |
| Height x Width | 6-10' Height x 4-6' Width |
| Water | Moderate; requires consistent moisture but must have excellent drainage. Allow soil to dry slightly between deep waterings. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Very frost sensitive; protect below 32°F) |
| Fertilization | Apply a specialized citrus fertilizer three times a year: February, May, and August. |
| Pruning | Minimal; prune mainly to maintain shape or to remove any frost-damaged tips in early spring. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
