Your tree looks really healthy! I'd let the tree decide! Our trees are in ground, and most are covered with baby fruits. My Bearss has already started choosing who will grow and who to let go. There are several tiny ones on the ground. Let the tree decide which lime is the fittest!

Your little tree will abort the fruit it cannot support. If it is still carrying too much fruit at the golf ball stage, you can always remove a few more fruit. You have a nice, big, healthy (very healthy, btw) canopy that should be able to support a fair amount of fruit. The tree is already most likely 3 years old, so about the time you'd see a nice fruit set. Enjoy, continue watering and fertilizing, and providing lots of light, hopefully outside soon, and you'll enjoy nice fat juicy limes in no time.

Thank you all for the lime tree help. ---Snow tomorrow, but yes, hopefully the weather will warm soon so I can place the tree outdoors for many months. Patricia
