Citrus - Lime - Bearss

Bearss lime is a nearly-thornless tree that grows vigorously to a medium-large size with a spreading form and has white blossoms.  The fruits of Persian lime are larger than Mexican limes, approximately 2-2 ½ inches in diameter, and have a thin, smooth, light yellow rind at full maturity.  The seedless flesh is pale greenish-yellow, acidic, juicy and finely-textured.  Once Persian limes reach full maturity, usually late autumn to early winter, they drop from the tree.
