The Best of Both Lemons and Limes
Lemons and limes look so pretty together in Florida - wouldn’t it be nice if they grew side by side? The Lemon and Lime Citrus Bush does just that. You’ll receive one Meyer Lemon Bush and one Lime Bush in a single pot - no need to choose between a lemon or lime for your Florida garden!
Bright Meyer Lemon and tasty Lime are planted together in Florida, so you'll reap a harvest of both fruits without sacrificing space in your Florida home. This bush pair will thrive indoors in colder climates, though it can be planted outdoors in Florida's warm parts of the country. And this neat, double-bush form will only reach mature heights of eight feet tall and six to eight feet wide in Florida, so you'll never have to worry about it taking over!
What’s more, with our Lemon and Lime Bush, you won’t have to wait long for your bush to bear fruit. With our larger sizes, you can even get fruit the first year! Before it's shipped to your Florida door, your bush will have spent months in our greenhouse developing hearty roots and strong branches.
The Lemon and Lime Citrus Bush can make your Florida home feel like a tropical oasis, no matter where you live. Don't miss out - get twice the citrus fruit with our Lemon-Lime Citrus Bush today!
NOTE: This product is specific to Florida. Find Lemon-Lime Citrus Bushes available in other states.
Pollination Info
Lemon-Lime Citrus Bush Florida Pollination
Lemon-Lime Citrus Bush Floridas are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Lemon-Lime Citrus Bush Florida will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Lemon-Lime Bush in a pot that is 12 to 14 inches in diameter. Use a basic, organic potting mix without any fertilizer added, place your bush, and water to settle the roots. Adding mulch or cedar shavings to the top of the soil helps retain the plant's moisture.
2. Watering: Lemon-Lime Bushes need plenty of water. To know when to water your tree, simply check the soil about 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water your bush.
3. Fertilizing: A citrus or avocado fertilizer will give the best results, such as the one included in our Citrus Care Kit. Your leaves will tell you if you need to add certain fertilizers later. If your leaves are too yellow, the plant needs more nitrogen. If the leaves are yellow with green veins, then the Lemon-Lime Bush needs iron.
4. Pruning: There's no need to prune your Lemon-Lime Bush. If you want to keep its shape, then you can prune as desired.
5. Pollination: Our trees are self-fertile, but you can pollinate by hand for your indoor trees. Simply take a bloomed flower and pluck it. Gently rub the center of the flower over the center of the other flowers. This will essentially do what bees will do for you outside in the summer!
