Citrus limettioides
 
Common names: Palestine Sweet Lime, Sweet Lime, Palestinian Sweet Lime, Mousambi/Mosambi, Sweet Lemon.
 
Short description: Citrus limettioides is a small evergreen citrus tree producing round to slightly oval fruits with a greenish-yellow rind and mildly sweet, low-acid juice. It is valued as a fresh fruit and for its attractive, fragrant blossoms.
 
Germination tips:
Use fresh seeds, as citrus seeds lose viability quickly.
Remove the fruit pulp and rinse the seeds thoroughly.
Sow 1–2 cm deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix.
Keep the soil warm (around 25–30°C) and consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
 
Germination usually takes 2–6 weeks; provide bright, indirect light after sprouting.
