Are Limes Premature Lemons?
Limes are a different type of citrus tree. A lime tree produces limes, a lemon tree produces lemons. There are other varieties of citrus, such as tangerines, tangelos, several types of grapefruit and oranges. Interestingly enough, a lot of orange trees are grafted onto lemon tree roots, because they are more hardly and disease resistant. But those produce only oranges.
