Hello - I just got a request from a client to plant a key lime in a pot in
North Berkeley/Kensington, California. This doesn't seem like a reasonable
request to me, because our climate is so different from the Florida Keys. But
then someone told me that they have seen key limes being grown in this area,
so maybe I am wrong. Does anyone out there have any words of widsom regarding
key limes in Northern California - Would they fruit? Do they need special
soil? Are there dwarf varieties? Are they hard to find?
Thank you very much - I love this list! -- Sarah
