Sounds like the lime tree needs some TLC and lots of water. As our trees did when we bought our place. We have a lemon and tangelo (orange) tree. A few oranges were late at ripening and left over from the last crop at Christmas time and they are pretty bad. No juice and all pulp too. They were great at Christmas when the whole tree was loaded!! But, we have just a little lime tree that we put in a 1/2 wine barrel last year and it's kicking butt. Quite loaded for it's size. But I too have the same question.....how do you know when they are ripe. Anybody out there have an answer for us??? :drink:
