| I want to add a dwarf lime tree to my Improved Meyer lemon and Orange trees. Lime trees look a little finicky and thorny, and we do get occasional frosts. I have seen that there are other possibilities such as Rangpur lime and limequats which are easier to grow. Has anyone grown both and have a recommendation as to which is better?
I would use the limes primarily fresh for drinks and cooking (Not marmalade). Do they both really taste like lime? Thanks. |

I have not had either so I can't give you a first hand taste test. P. |

| I now have a limequat that is 4 years old and is doing very well. I have more limequats that I know what to do with them. It just keeps producing and producing. I have it in a large plastic pot I got from Costco. During this winter, I moved the pot to a covered porch and just lost a few flowers and now I see a bunch of new growth and tiny blooms. I am certain you will enjoy these wonderful trees. |
