Citrus lime ‘Bearss’

This lime is a cold-hardy and heavier-bearing cultivar. Citrus lime ‘Bearss’ has an upright and bushy growth habit and produces prolific crops of large-sized fruit that start off green but turn green-yellow when ready to harvest. It produces fruit both in the winter and summer seasons and has a high juice content. Citrus lime ‘Bearss’ also features scented white flowers throughout the summer season, and it is self-fertile. Citrus lime is evergreen and a hybrid between Citrus x aurantiifolia and Citrus x limon. Citrus lime ‘Bearss’ is named after John T. Bearss, who developed this seedless cultivar about 1895 at his nursery in Porterville, California, United States.
