Citrus longispina
Also called Key Lime, Egyptian Lime, Indian Lime, Mexican Lime, West Indian Lime, Sour Lime, Colo
Citrus longispina, the winged or blacktwig lime, is a small, bushy citrus tree grown mainly for its ornamental dark twigs and fruit. Give it full sun and well-drained soil, and expect the long branches to need support under heavy fruit.
Citrus longispina (winged lime, blacktwig lime, or megacarpa papeda) is an unusual sweet lime-like citrus that has been classed as a papeda.
It is called Tai la mi san in Chinese, Taramisan in Japanese and Tanisan or Talamisan in the Philippines.
