Hello Sir

Sweet lime requires a comparatively cool climate for regular bearing.
It can be grown on a wide range of soils, from heavy clays to very light sands, with pH ranging, from 6.0 to 8.0.
propagated mainly from seed.
Budding on rough lemon rootstock, layering are also followed.
It flowers twice a year in February-March and again in August.
The main crop is obtained in August from the first flowering.
The second crop is ready in the following February.
