Persian Lime aka Tahiti Lime

The Persian Lime is the most popular commercial lime variety worldwide, known for its nearly seedless, juicy fruit and mild, versatile flavor that works beautifully for fresh use, juicing, and cooking. Its origins trace back to Southeast Asia, with the variety making its way to Florida by the 1880s via Tahiti, where it quickly became a commercial favorite in the state’s early lime industry. The tree produces abundant crops and is more cold-tolerant than the traditional Key lime.

At North Florida Citrus Nursery, our Persian Lime trees are valued for their reliable production and adaptability, making them an excellent choice for growers seeking a productive, nearly seedless lime in warmer microclimates.
