The tree is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas, especially the West Indies, Mexico, Florida, Egypt and southeast Asia, for its edible fruit. It is an everyday ingredient in the food of southeast Asia, where trees are commonly grown in the garden as well as commercially.

Three main climates are suitable for commercial citrus production - tropical climates, subtropical with winter rain such as in the Mediterranean and semitropical with summer rainfall as found in Florida and southern Brazil. Limes grow at elevations up to 2,200 metres.

The optimal temperatures for their cultivation range between 25 - 30°c, with the coldest month having an average minimum of at least 15°c. Growth generally ceases below 13°c and above 38°c. They are most competitive in areas that receive from about 700 to 1,000 mm of mean annual precipitation. If there are dry periods of more than three months, then irrigation will be necessary.

Prefers a deep, well-drained but moisture-retentive loamy soil in full sun. The tree is quite drought-resistant. Prefers a pH in the range 6 - 6.5, tolerating 4.8 - 8.3.

Plants can flower and produce fruit all year round.

Layered trees can produce fruit in the second year after planting, but growers aim at maximum growth to get a more substantial crop in the third year.

The average yield of lime in Thailand during the 1988/1989 season was 2,400 kg/ha. In India trees are expected to bear 600 - 1,500 fruits per year.

A high incidence of bacterial canker is a limiting factor for growing limes in the wet tropics.

Limes hybridize freely with other Citrus species, and many hybrids are known, e.g. Lemonimes (lime x lemon), Limequats (lime x kumquat). Limes are divided horticulturally into acid and sweet limes.
