As I build out my orchard here at the epic homestead, of course, Citrus is a massive, massive focus.

Specifically because it grows so well here in my climate, but also it's one of my favorite things to grow and eat.

So it stands to reason I would grow a lot of it.

And today we're talking about different citrus varieties, specifically of limes that you should consider in your garden.

Now you have your standard, probably the most popular, certainly where I'm from.

It would be the Mexican lime tree.

There's many different names. The key lime is also another phrase for it.

The fruit is probably the most commonly found lime in the supermarket. It has green

flesh. It is smaller than a lemon, and it can grow up to 15 feet tall and

live for 150 years.

Great option if you're in a warmer climate and your classic

classic lime.

Next you have the Castello lime.

This is a rare type of Indo-Malaian lime.

It is a slightly larger variety. It is bigger than a standard lime and it only turns mature once it is a pale yellow.

Probably about two to three inches wide you will have a hard time finding it but you can basically use it

interchangeably with a keyline pie so if you have a hard time finding it then go

ahead and just grow a keyline no big deal nothing lost nothing gained okay now we're talking about the

Australian finger lime this is micro citrus australesica this is probably one of

the most unique looking limes you'll ever see. It is a caviar lime, so it's called, because it has these

tiny little balls inside of the fruit called vesicles. So what you can do is squeeze the lime and they sort of come popping out.

It looks absolutely amazing.
