Woot, my lime tree bore it's first lime

Do you even Key lime, bro?

Your thread title is too redundant and should rhyme for more views.

Woot, my lime tree bore it's first fruit

Edit: Wait. It was supposed to be a Mandarin orange tree?
 
OP, I can send you pics of my calamansi fruit when it ripens. Or the limes, lemons, grapefruit, or figs. I can't send you pomegranate pics as my wife already ate them all (bumper crop this year). Calamansi is the bestest.

This thread reminds me that I need to check the chiltepins.
 
OP, it's pretty early for citrus to be ripe; did you just pick an unripe mandarin orange? Our calamansi is a mandarin/kumquat hybrid and usually isn't ripe until December.
 
sucks down here, I need to cut a few down.

My old tangerine tree died, and many neighbors old orange trees, had citrus canker kill a bunch a few years ago.

This used to be a good time of the year for the tangerines to start getting good at any rate, maybe still a bit early.

The Key Lime is still kicking though.

It looks a bit like this to me, I was trying to remember the name.

Calamondin

That just was the one that came to mind myself.

"Florida natives, however, report growing Calamondin trees with life spans in excess of 20 years in some cases, throughout 1950 to the 70's, and throughout the 70's to 90's. So the actual lifespan is an open issue and may depend on climatic factors, whether the plant is potted or free grown as a citrus yard tree."

I have a 25 year old potted Key Lime tree that regularly produces limes. It spends the winter in my garage. Last winter was rough on it, I actually thought it was dead when I brought it out in the spring but it came back very strong, unfortunately no limes this year though.
