How wide and tall would a dwarf lime tree get if I plant it in the ground? I am hoping I have room in my yard for one. Thanks :)

Are they the same as patio lime trees? I saw some of them at lowes.

Flofi, few years back I got a dwarf lime from Lukas, it is about 6 ft tall now, double in size that my red lime that is planted in the same area.

Silvia, Thanks so much for the information on size. And it is good to know they do well in this area :). You are the second one to mention Lukas in this thread. I will definitely contact them to buy the tree.

Pea, I am not sure if dwarf citrus are also called patio trees or if they are pot friendly varieties.

Flofi, Lukas nursery is a good place to shop for unusual plants. Citrus is not the easy care plant that we had few years ago, we have greening now, it is less in the sour citrus like lemons or limes. I have a Meyer lemon and produced so much fruit for a long period of time, that everyone who likes lemons got it from me, red lime is also very productive, the dwarf lime from Lukas not so much, it has fruits now but for a quite a while I had to spray to get the tree back in shape.

The trees today are all covered with fruits, in the back a fig, on the right the Meyer lemon, on the left a white nectarine and in the very front the red lime that is about 3 ft tall, on purpose I keep it short and in the back about 6 ft is the dwarf lime.

Here i found this info on the patio limes that lowes calles them but their website says they are dwarf...

I have 4 different lime trees and my favorite is the Persian Lime. Even the leaves are fragrant!

Silvia you have a lovely yard! I finally have a yard and can't wait to plant it. I am glad to hear that sour citrus is not as prone to greening because I was hoping to get a lime and a sour orange. I have no problem with spraying (from what I read it is a necessity to keep citrus going). I looked Lukas nursery up and they are not far away so I am looking forward to visiting them. The red lime sounds really interesting and makes a cute little tree :).

Pea thanks so much for clarifying :)
