Citrus Limetta Mousamb

Citrus limetta, widely known as Mousambi or Sweet Lime, is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia. It grows up to 8 meters tall and features glossy, dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers. The tree produces round to slightly oval fruits with a smooth, thin rind that turns greenish-yellow when ripe. The pulp is light green to pale yellow, juicy, and sweet with a mild tang, making it a popular choice for fresh consumption and juice production. Mousambi thrives in warm climates and well-draining soil, requiring full sun and regular watering. It is low-maintenance and starts bearing fruit within 3–5 years of planting, making it suitable for home gardens and commercial orchards.
