Hi,

I have 4 citrus trees side by side, all labels lost and I have no idea on their varieties, I am waiting for their fruit. They are grown from seeds so I will wait a little more Very Happy

I should wait for more but my father-in-law asked for Key Lime budwoods and I need to identify one of them as Key Lime. I have a guess and I attached it's photos below, please let me know if I am right, otherwise I will upload few more photos of other trees.

Thank you very much.

I can only say it certainly looks like a Key Lime leaf, complete with the delicate serration of the leaf margins from the tip of the leaf down half way, typical of a Key Lime leaf. - Millet (466-)

It does look like key lime, from the leaf to the thorn location.

Your leaves are identical to my key lime's so I concur with the experts.
