Dwarf Mexican Lime Tree

Question

I live in Mesa, AZ. The lime tree was planted about a year ago. Limes were small and green. Now they are turning yellow and dropping. Is this the normal?

Answer 1

Yes, limes are actually harvested unripe and green and then, if not harvested, will ripen to yellow. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lime/lime-tree-harvest-time-when-to-pick-a-lime-from-a-tree.htm
