Lime 'Bearss Lime' (Citrus latifolia)

C. latifolia, is known by many names such as Tahitian lime, Bearss lime, and Persian lime.  The nearly-thornless trees grow vigorously to a medium-large size with a spreading form and have white blossoms.  Persian lime trees are more cold-hardy than Mexican lime trees and should do well in areas where lemons are successfully grown.
