And yes to fertilizing, that's essential if you're not certain about your soil content. My lime tree is very productive, and about 5 years old now. It took a beating from winds as Hurricane Matthew passed near our coast and I lost about 1/3 of my limes. So this will be a reduced yield year for me, but I'll still have more than I can possibly use. By the way, I collected the fallen green limes and squeezed them and labeled it as "hurricane lime juice" just for fun.
