I just planted a bearrs lime last week and I’ve been binging all your videos. Thank you.

[@sweettravellumkan]

Thanks. I like all your videos. I'm planting Mexican Key Lime now.

[@yeyo9404]

[@nitam777]

Thanks for the info! I just purchased one today. I hope they do well.

[@adaortiz4128]

Very nice video 👍🏽

[@isaacmzt5232]

Excellent videos amigo, thank you for all of the great information. I live in Southern Baja California, México, its a harsh sun down here in this desert! Ive found that contrary to all my citrus trees, lemons, mexican lime, kumquats or my mandarina, the bearss lime gets some sort of heat shock and the leaves curl by mid day everyday even with a bit extra water... The plant is a 1.5 years old, will it adapt to this over time or should I move it to a partial shade area of the garden? thing is it would only get about 4 hours of direct sun there. Saludos amigo

[@minnahumble2294]

When do you prune the top branches to keep the bushy shape? I mean do you start in the first season or wait until it is big enough to produce a substantial harvest.

[@davidjones8312]

drj Westfield Wisconsin what kind of lime has green fruit and how big does the fruit get? Thank you for your time and answer.

[@chairmanmeow3693]

Do the Persian Lime and the Mexican Limes taste the same? Is one more bitter than the other?

[@darkhunter777]

Лимончики можно рукой через забор достать 😁 Надо колючую проволоку повесить

Hi I got a Bearss lime tree and can I pick them when they are green?

[@af-tech2420]

Which fertilizer use this plant?

[@ChitoWorld]

Is that Lima? I been looking for one. I’m in Bay Area as well

[@jamescc2010]

Do they have thorns? What coat paint did you they we should use to cover exposed branch?

[@bellamina2877]

Dani Lee yes,they do have thorns

[@jeffersonmanalo2443]

Does persian lime produce seeds by any chance

[@patriciaspence8119]

Is the fruit-fall because of lack of water?

[@Tiger-Creations]

I bought a Beards Lime tree a few months ago at my local home improvement store. I haven't planned it yet. But I live in Denver Colorado. Will it survive the winter? I do have it on my balcony in a sunny place. But like I said its still in its original pot from the store. How do I get it started and again will it survive the winter, like snow too?

[@Mcfirefly2]

You have to bring it indoors for the winter.

[@cliftonjindra2177]

This was so awesome, thank you! I really want to try to grow this, a dwarf key lime fruit, from seed, then graph it next to my american persiommon bonsai. Is there any way you or someone could send me a few seeds? It would mean so much. Just think about it and get back to me please! Thanks!!

[@cliftonjindra2177]

@Hayes Ian ohhh if you hacked your gf you just have low standards for yourself respect

[@steffilinardo5052]

is this lime green or yellow?

[@ameliadiaz8040]

I wish I'd like a Creole (Mexican) lime tree at home!

[@LaserrSharp]

In another video you suggested that trees be pruned between harvesting and flowering. My tree is loaded with limes at the moment. Is it okay to pick all the remaining fruit and then prune?

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Laser Sharp, Yes, if you can time and pace yourself to prune between harvest and flower-- that would be ideal. The timing should coincide with the passing of any chance of frost as well! I pruned on this visit because I only visit this property an average of 2x per year and no one would prune this tree otherwise. Great observation! :) Charles

@@IVOrganic Hi. I am in the Bahamas and we have a soursop tree that is being overtaken with big ants and destroying the fruits. What do you recommend for ants

[@jorgeamador2619]

is it bearss lime or bearss lemon?

[@ibraahimdirir7859]

what is the yield or production of the mexican lime tree and how many times a year does it fruit. thanks

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Ibraahim Dirir, The Mexican Lime Tree bears fruit year round; however, the heaviest yield is early winter. The second heaviest yields are typically between May-June. The amount of fruit depends on the size of the tree. Dwarf trees are smaller and generally support more fruit per area of plant than a standard; however, a standard tree because of the size can typically support hundreds of fruit per year (at maturity). Let me know if you have any other questions! Charles :)

[@ibraahimdirir7859]

thanks, great channel btw, just subbed.

[@IVOrganic]

Thank you Ibraahim! :-) Charles

[@EhsanFarsy]

Hi Charles, I have loamy-clay-soil in my garden . should I use sour orange or c-35 as rootstock ? regards

[@Ramspiker16]

Which lime tree has thorns & without thorns?

[@chairmanmeow3693]

The Mexican Lime trees have thorns. Persian ones have very few

[@gioflores96]

I wish there was a small can of that 3-in-1

[@drpk6514]

Persian lime is seedless because it is thriploid. As its name suggests it was developed hundreds of years ago in Iran but "for some reasons" they have been renamed...

[@adiaraintikadunia9867]

What is a significant difference between lime and lemon, please

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Adi Araintika Dunia, Both lemons and limes can be yellow, although limes are generally ripe green. Limes are more acidic and bitter, compared to lemons. My wife uses lemons several times per week in preparing salad dressings, and when we switch to limes, there is a significant taste difference. I hope this helps! Charles :-)

[@adiaraintikadunia9867]

Thanks for your brief, It is clear for me now. Good Luck

[@okoriecuzochukwu]

Can you graft and sell to me

[@Patrick10271995]

Can you describe the taste specifically? Does it taste like kiwi or lemon?

[@JM.TheComposer]

I don't know why, but I suddenly have the urge to plant an Australian finger lime tree. This video must contain subliminal advertising!! 🤣

[@lesmewis1438]

Can you recommend a nursery in Palm Springs Area?

[@claudiasmith9117]

So, Persian limes are yellow inside and out?

[@gregm4482]

Only if the fruit is left on. Usually it’s picked green. But if you leave it on long enough it will turn yellow and get a bit less sour. The Mexican lime (key lime) will do the same thing.

[@claudiasmith9117]

@@gregm4482 thank you!

[@nyeranch4897]

Why do you refer to planting as installing? It seems like you're putting in a stereo system or TV rather than a live tree. Just curious. :-)

[@Nayandzac]

Hahahaha!!! I've been thinking the same thing... It's endearing...

[@nafnaf0]

LOL

[@alizafar1194]

Is persian lime tree thornless?

[@bellamina2877]

Ali Zafar No, they do have thorns

[@chairmanmeow3693]

Yes but way less than the Mexican Lime

[@blake9358]

Tahatian lime tree in Australia. Pity you didn't have Pomelo tree

[@cuetoluis]

You should have left those stocks and removed the already fruited and flowered stocks after harvest.. yes cut the tops.. but train the tree with a main branch..

[@rgruenhaus]

When you say the name of your products please SLOW DOWN! It sounds like you are saying IVORY ORGANICS! It was several videos before I looked to see the product name and discovered it was I V ORGANICS!

[@livelife8900]

Is all seedless trees are GMO??

[@keyboard_g]

No

[@IVOrganic]

Hello SHABAZZ T, Can you be more specific? In this video I have discussed several topics, and would like to know what his or her concern is. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Charles :)

[@SHABAZZTRIBE]

IT WAS ACTUALLY A WICKED JOKE. FLORIDA CAN NO LONGER GROW CITRUS SAFELY DUE TO THE GREENING VIRUS . I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS .

What do you do to keep ants off these kind of trees. I have some and ants are always all over them . Thanks

[@keepingup2952]

It's amazing how dumb plants can be, growing in the way of their own necessary sunlight.

[@tuallang]

All people who click on these videos want to know what to feed the plant. Showing a yellowing leaf followed by a statement one should provide a suitable fertiliser is useless.
