Years ago I made a Key Lime pie for Rose. It is her favorite dessert. Of course I planted some seeds from those little limes. Now the tree is over six feet tall in its giant pot on wheels. It must be hauled inside for the winters.
The tree has made tiny white blooms during the summer for a few years now.
This year is the first time it made limes.
They are tiny even by Key Lime standards. I am hoping they will continue to get larger.
This is what we gardeners live for, our hard work coming to fruition at last.
These limes have been a long time coming.

Yay, it usually takes six or seven years to get limes from planting a seed.

Yaay! Your 7 years of nurturing and not giving up has been rewarded. I hope that tree gives you pleasure for many more years.

Its thorns are mean but not as mean as my two bitter orange trees. Thankfully these two have survived in the ground.

I had forgotten they have thorns.

Well worth waiting for (and lugging around) even if the first ones are tiny.
