Pet toxicity: Toxic
Pet safety guideAbout Persian Lime
Persian lime (Citrus × latifolia) is the most commercially grown lime in Florida, producing seedless, thick-skinned, aromatic fruits used widely in cooking and beverages. It is frost-sensitive but manageable in zone 9b with careful siting in a warm, wind-protected location and cold protection during freezes. Peak fruit harvest runs fall through winter; trees can produce year-round in warm years.

Care essentials
Plant in full sun with at least 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for best fruit production. Choose a warm, protected site with a windbreak to reduce cold-air exposure during NE Florida freeze events.
Water deeply and regularly; citrus prefers consistent soil moisture but not waterlogging. Sandy Florida soils drain quickly — weekly deep watering supplemented by mulch helps retain moisture. Reduce irrigation slightly during cooler months.
Prefers well-drained sandy to sandy loam soil at pH 6.0–7.0. Use a specialized citrus fertilizer with micronutrients (iron, manganese, zinc) applied 3–4 times per year. Mulch heavily to protect shallow feeder roots. Monitor for citrus greening (HLB) and citrus canker — both are active in NE Florida.
