Citrus lime ‘Sublime’ is a compact grower that is virtually thornless and is well-suited for growing in a large pot. It is an excellent choice for small gardens and produces a prolific crop of large-sized fruit that start green and change to yellow-green when ripe. The fruit is commonly used for cooking and flavoring drinks. Citrus lime ‘Sublime’ has scented white flowers that bloom throughout the spring and summer, and it is self-fertile. It prefers warmer climates and is very sensitive to frost. In tropical climates, Citrus lime ‘Sublime’ can produce limes year-round. However, in subtropical climates, it typically only produces one yearly crop that usually matures by late summer, though the timing of fruit maturity depends on the local conditions. Citrus lime is evergreen and a hybrid between Citrus micrantha (syn. Citrus hystrix var. micrantha) and Citrus medica. Citrus lime is evergreen and native to tropical Southeast Asia.
