Glad I found this thread.
I've got both a Key lime and Persian lime tree in the back yard.
I've been using the Persian lime, easier to get to it's right outside the bar room door and it doesn't bite.
The dang Key lime tree has some pretty gnarly thorns and is up on a ridge.
I'll have to switch over and use the Key limes.
As usual anything worth while is usually more work.
Thanks for the lime lesson.

One note:
Previous owner advised us to always pick a few each week and never pick the trees clean and they would bear fruit all year.
Been doing this for quite a few years and the trees constantly have fruit here in SoCal.
