No seeds, no thorns, nothing but big delicious fruit! This lime is self-pollinating and produces big yields of sizable fruit spanning 6 cm in diameter that have green flesh that lightens to yellow as they mature. Bearss is a plant to be cherished even when not fruiting as its presents fragrant white flowers in early spring and deep green foliage the rest of the year.This popular variety can be seen in stores and is a native of California so you know it loves the sun. Plant this darling in a sunny spot with moist soil and with a little time and patience you'll have plenty of fresh fruit for drinks, baking and more! Zones 9-11 (or in containers in any zone).
