something is eating my limes

Question

I live in Homestead, Florida, south of Miami. My lime tree blooms and gets fruit. When the fruits get less than dime size, something eats them all, usually in one or two days. Would a cheesecloth net help?

Answer 1

It's not likely being eaten but the immature fruits may be dropping. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lime/is-lime-fruit-and-lime-blossoms-falling-off-tree-normal.htm
