Persian 'Bearss' Lime Tree (FL) Information
About The Persian 'Bearss' Lime Tree (FL)
Persian Bearss Lime: The Seedless, Juice-Packed Lime You'll Love
When you reach for a lime at the store, you're almost certainly holding a Persian (Bearss) lime — Citrus latifolia — the larger, smoother-skinned fruit that has become the world's commercial standard. Grown at home, it's a revelation: deep green fruit the size of a small egg, completely seedless, with thin skin you can zest right off the tree and flesh that's noticeably juicier and milder than a Key lime. Where Key limes are small, seedy, and aggressively tart, the Bearss delivers all the bright lime aroma with a rounder, less puckering acidity — the kind of clean, generous juice that makes a single fruit go a long way.
Why You'll Love the Persian Bearss Lime
- Seedless and effortless to use. No seeds to fish out — slice, squeeze, or zest straight into the glass or the pan. The thin rind means more juice and fragrant oil per fruit than the small, seedy Key lime.
- Bigger, juicier, milder. Fruit runs two to three times the size of a Key lime, with smoother acidity that brightens food and drinks without overwhelming them.
- Vigorous and nearly thornless. A strong, fast-growing tree with few or no spines makes pruning and harvesting far more pleasant than thornier citrus.
- Generous, repeat cropping. Healthy trees fruit nearly year-round in warm climates, with the heaviest flush in summer, so you're rarely without a lime on hand.
- Forgiving for beginners. Its hybrid vigor and adaptability to containers make it one of the easiest true limes to keep happy on a patio or in a bright room.
Glossy, evergreen, and pleasantly fragrant in bloom, the Persian Bearss Lime earns its place outdoors in warm regions or in a container that summers on the patio and overwinters inside where frost threatens. It's the rare fruit tree that hands you the exact thing you buy by the bagful — only fresher, seedless, and picked at the moment you want it.
Please note: This tree ships in a citra pot—a tall, narrow container that promotes vertical root growth and prevents root circling.
