Key Lime Tree Not Fruiting: Causes and Solutions

Maturity, Pollination, and Care Factors

A healthy but non-fruiting Key lime in Florida may be:

  • Seed-grown: 9–10 years to fruit, variable quality.
  • Grafted: fruits in 3–4 years.
  • Indoors during bloom: needs hand pollination.
  • Over-pruned: delays maturity.

Care: slow deep watering biweekly; 1 cup ammonium sulfate per year of age split Feb/May/Sept; keep grass 1 ft from canopy; no mulch near trunk.
