Spanish Lime Plant (Melicoccus Bijugatus)

Also known as Genipe, Quenepa, Limoncillo, or Mamoncillo.

This tropical tree produces small, round fruits with thin, green skin and sweet, tangy flesh inside (related to Lychee and Longan).

This plant is perfect for those who love to grow their own fruit, as it is relatively easy to care for and can produce an abundant harvest of delicious and nutritious fruit. The Spanish Lime is a versatile and flavorful addition to any garden and makes for a great snack.

Plant Care

Spanish limes can grow in almost any type of soil that is well-draining.  These plants are drought-resistant, but young plants should be watered regularly.

When you receive your plant, we suggest amending your soil with coco coir or coco perlite to keep your mix fluffy and make the best environment for the roots to establish and grow healthy.
