Tahiti Lime Tree 6lt
Original price was: R300.00.R199.99Current price is: R199.99.Add to cartTahiti Lime Tree 6lt
Climate and Soil Requirements
Climate: Tahiti lime trees thrive in warm, tropical, or subtropical climates. They prefer temperatures between 20°C and 30°C. They can tolerate some cooler conditions but need protection from frost. Suitable regions in South Africa include KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape, and the Western Cape’s milder coastal areas.
Soil: Lime trees prefer well-draining soil. A sandy loam or loamy soil with good organic content is ideal. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral (around 5.5 to 7.0).Planting and Care
Planting: Choose a sunny spot that gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball.
Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Watering: Lime trees need regular watering, especially during the establishment phase. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once or twice a week, more often in hot, dry periods.
Fertilising: Feed the tree with a balanced citrus fertiliser during the growing season (spring to autumn). Supplement with micronutrients like iron and magnesium if needed.
Pruning: Prune the tree to maintain its shape, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Pruning after the harvest season is ideal.Harvesting
Leaves: Lime leaves can be harvested year-round. Pick mature leaves as needed for culinary use. New leaves are more tender and aromatic.
Fruit: The fruit typically matures in late autumn to winter. Kaffir limes are small, green, and have a bumpy rind. They can be used fresh or dried.Growing in Pots
If you have limited space or live in an area with unsuitable climate conditions, growing limes in pots is a viable option. Use a large pot with good drainage holes and high-quality potting mix. Ensure the tree gets adequate sunlight and is protected from extreme weather.
Tips for Success
Frost Protection: In regions with occasional frost, cover the tree with frost cloth or bring potted trees indoors during cold spells.
Mulching: Mulch around the base of the tree to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and reduce weed competition.
Pollination: Lime trees are self-pollinating, but having multiple trees can increase fruit set. -
