My dad has had major success w/his Florida souvenir lime, lemon and orange trees - he keeps them inside all winter and as soon as the weather breaks and we're sure of not having anymore snow or frost he wheels them outside. The bees pollinate the hell out of the things and by mid-June there are limes all over! The only problem I've noticed w/some of the super small limes the tree produces are that they are sour as hell...I know a lime is supposed to be sour but these are insane! The bigger ones tend to be bearable and my parents often times find them suitable for Corona's... from my experience they tend to be rather hearty but just remember not to leave them in the cold...that's a sure-fire way of knocking them off!
