Growing limes in containers

by | Jun 18, 2012 | Gardening

Even in hot Austin, our winters get too cold to leave lime trees outdoors when temperatures dip, so I’m growing both Mexican lime, Citrus aurantifolia, and Kaffir lime, Citrus x hystrix, in containers.   Then I can move them indoors when necessary.  Mexican limes are also known as key limes.  Kaffir limes, or makrut, are grown primarily for their leaves, which are used to flavor Lao and other Southeast Asian dishes. I picked up both of these plants earlier...
