Variety description

10 August 2026

Mexican Lime is a medium to large shrubby tree characterized by high thorniness. Leaves have a distinct aroma when rubbed. Fruits are small, with thin, smooth yellow-green peel, and juicy, highly aromatic flesh containing seeds. The variety is extremely sensitive to frost.

The grapefruit variety STAR RUBY forms a compact tree with leathery dark green leaves and small thorns or none at all. Fruits have a light yellow peel with a reddish blush, intensely colored ("ruby") flesh, containing few or almost no seeds. The variety is susceptible to Phytophthora, pests, and nutrient imbalance, and tolerates cold and extreme heat poorly.
