Wild Lime

Wild Lime = Zanthoxylum fagara
Family: Rutaceae (distant family of Citrus family)
South Florida Native
 
Before I found this tree, I was wondering what this wonderful smell,
where is it coming from???
The smell was so sweet!
Wild Lime is a small tree, about 26 feet
in South Florida hammocks.
The flowers are yellow, they appear year-round,
peaking in winter through summer.
And it is dioecious, meaning male and female flowers
appear on separate plants.
