Citrus x latifolia ‘Bearss Lime’, commonly known as the Tahiti Lime, is a highly productive, seedless lime variety loved for its juicy, aromatic fruit and glossy evergreen foliage. In Cape Town, it flowers mainly from spring to early summer, with fruit ripening through late summer into autumn, often producing a second light crop in warm conditions.

Perfect for edible gardens, pots, small orchards, or sunny patios, this lime thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil. Its lush growth and fragrant blossoms also make it a wonderful ornamental feature. A must-have for gardeners who enjoy cooking, cocktails, or fresh homegrown citrus.

Plant & Care

Plant your Tahiti Lime in full sun with free‑draining soil and regular deep watering during hot, dry spells.

Mulch well to retain moisture, especially through Cape Town’s dry summers. Protect young trees from frost and strong southeaster winds.
