Citrus - Lime Tahitian Dwarf Citrus Latifolia Dwarf

What the references say is said of the Tahitian lime, not of a dwarf. In short, from the NC State toolbox, an American reference: the warmest position there is, in full sun; a sandy, loamy soil of pH 6.0 or higher that stays moist and drains well; water through drought; and pruning only for shape, dead wood and size. The Riverside collection, also American, says the variety should do well where lemons are grown. The Tahitian lime page sets these out in full, with the problems both report. The toolbox's size, about 6.1 m high and wide, is for the tree it describes; no reference read gives a figure for a dwarf, or says whether one differs in cold tolerance, soil or cropping.

The toolbox grows the Tahitian lime outdoors where it is hardy or in a planter moved inside when the weather turns cold; nothing read says a dwarf tree is used differently or gives one a planting distance. The fruit the references describe is the Tahitian lime's: seedless, most often used green for its acidity and ripening to a sweeter, more fragrant yellow, and the toolbox's uses for it are the fruit and its juice. The Tahitian lime page sets these uses out in full.

The word dwarf is the listing's, and the references read cannot say what it promises, so the height a tree reaches and what makes it dwarf are questions for the grower. The table above shows the sizes growers list. What to check on roots, pests and hardening off is in the guide to judging nursery plant quality.
