When to plant tahitian lime in Alexandrina
- Plant seedlings: mid Aug to mid AprAlexandrina area, cool Mediterranean
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Alexandrina. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
The easiest lime for home gardens: large, seedless fruit on an almost thornless tree, cropping mainly from autumn into winter. In Adelaide plant it in a warm, sunny, sheltered spot such as against a north-facing wall. It is less cold hardy than lemons, so protect young trees from frost in the Hills.
