Notes

Planted in a large pot on south-facing balcony. Still going many years later, though by now it's pretty root-bound. It produces on average maybe a lime a month.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
