Transplanted to the fruits and vegetables forum. View it there if you're interested.

Hoodat, do those lime trees stay small? Like "bring it into the house in the winter" small? I've heard they are very fragrant. Or could one prune it to keep it small?

OOPSIE I meant this to go into the fruits and vegetables forum. Is there any way to "transplant" it?
Keifer lime is more shrubby than tree-like but if you want it small get the dwarf variety. It responds well to pruning if it still gets too big but you sacrifice fruit if you prune much. The fruit comes on the new growth.
