I bought a lime tree about 5 years ago. It's about 4 feet tall now. Last year it started producing fruit. I was so excited until I cut one open and realized they are duds! The limes are almost all white rind on the inside with minimal pulp and no juice. They are useless. Is there anything I can do to salvage this tree that I've been nurturing for years? Could I graft another variety of lime onto the trunk? Trunk is about 1 1/4 inches thick. Thank you!
Bad limes!
I have no personal knowledge but this article sounds hopeful. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/citrus/citrus-fruit-thick-rind.htm
