Bearrs limes by the dozen, key limes by the score

Key limes

There must be hundreds of Key (Mexican) limes ripening on this tree. They are a pain in the neck to juice because they are so small. The best device I found for this purpose looks similar to a garlic press, but it's still time consuming to collect enough juice for any useful purpose. I have yet to make a key lime pie.

Bearrs limes


Our Bearrs lime tree is younger and there are probably a couple dozen limes on it this year. These are the larger, lemon-sized limes that can be juiced in an electric juicer, and they will most likely become limeade.
