I have a lime tree in a community garden plot but it may be younger than yours swimmingfree, and it, alas, hasn't bore any fruit yet either. :(

i fond a form on citrus trees last year and been doing a lot of reading on it .... did some graft on my citrus tree 3 took out of 8 not grate but not bad for my first try at it... was hopping to get some cutting of some other tree so i posted on here ... its a new hobby for me some thing to do in the winter up here ... im looking for trees that produce fruit... if you graft a twig of a tree that is produce fruit.... to a young tree it will produce fruit.as of right now... i have a tree that has lemon and lime cutting on it.... no fruit or leave ether but it will when it goes out side for the summer ...

nice. congrats on your new hobby :) I think it's always worthwhile to dabble into something that will help feed u.

My new hobby last year was aquaponics (in simple terms, using fish water from fish tank to fertilize and water plants in grow beds filled with rocks--or other stuff; I'm using cinder)... but that's a whole new subject. lol.

I'm hopeful that your tree will produce fruit this summer. When it does, I'd love to see a pic(s) of it. :)
