Talk:Persian lime

reproduce?

Persian limes don't have seeds, so how do they reproduce? Are they all just clones, and if so, what is their genetic lineage (i.e. what do they trace back to originally)?

No limes produced in the US???

This line from the article: "The United States no longer commercially grows limes; all the limes consumed in the US are imported." couldn't possibly be true. From the lime article, over 720,000 tons of limes are produced in the US every year, though it doesn't specify which types of limes. It could be very possible that there isn't a lot of commercial production of Persian limes, but that isn't what the article suggests. It states that no limes at all are produce commercially, which is in contradiction with the other article (I have no idea which one is correct). I also question the use of the word "commercially" since any grown to be sold instead of consumed would be a loose example of commercial. Also, even if it was only a very small market, it's still commercial (though maybe not global). This sentance needs to be verified if possible. I'll leave it in as it sounds like whoever wrote this article has a little more inside knowledge on the subject.

USA only

I thought I was reading the English language Wikipedia, as usual the American's have forgotten there is a world out there other than theres. 212.238.55.75 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:18, 12 December 2010 (UTC).

Resolution Needed

This article, the reference panel, and several places refer to "Persian Lime" as C. latifolia, and also as C. xlatifolia. Are these two different, what is what? Norm Reitzel (talk) 23:29, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Actually, the more important thing to attend here is you use of letter "x" instead of "×" (multiplication sign) in your edit. You will find the × symbol in the toolbar below the edit box. The less important issue is that both are okay. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Most commonly cultivated species?

The article currently states that C. ×latifolia is the most commonly cultivated species for commercial use. This is not cited, and I suspect it to be false, unless qualified. According to http://cals.arizona.edu/fps/sites/cals.arizona.edu.fps/files/cotw/Mexican_Lime.pdf the Mexican lime or Key lime, C. aurantiifolia, is the most commonly cultivated species worldwide.

Specific culinary uses beyond juice and rind ?

Can the leaves, for instance, be used safely, as is the case with the Kaffir lime? Maybe a new section pertaining to culinary use would draw responses. Thanks. 71.112.242.179 (talk) 18:45, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Yes. All parts are edible (if you want to!) Plantsurfer 19:03, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, but, do you have multiple cited references (esp. given whats at stake) ? I looked but couldn't find anything specific to the Persian. Thanks. 71.112.242.179 (talk) 19:22, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Sliced Lime not Persian?

The sliced Lime shown on this page has a thicker and rougher skin than I would expect a Persian lime to have, but maybe that's just the variant that I can buy locally. Any experts here that can comment?

Lemos,?
