Citrus x floridana is also known as the limequat. Like other citrus plants, this citrus is a wonderfully fragrant shrub or tree perfect for your terrace.
The sweet smell of the lime's leaves and blossoms signals which fruit will soon appear.

Also, apply dried cow manure pellets to the plant every 3-4 weeks from April to late September. It will respond immediately and start growing new shoots.
