Acid lime, commonly called nimbu or kagzi lime, is best planted at the start of the monsoon, around June to August, using healthy certified saplings. Kagzi lime types like Balaji and other improved selections are popular for thin skin and good juice. Common spacing is around 5 by 5 to 6 by 6 metres depending on soil and pruning. Make good pits with well rotted manure and ensure drainage. Lime fruits in flushes through the year, and with bahar regulation by withholding water for a period you can push more fruit into the high price summer. It starts bearing a few years after planting. Confirm the recommended variety, rootstock and spacing for your area with your KVK or the horticulture office.

Bahar treatment to time the crop for summer made a big difference to my nimbu price. Summer lemons sell much higher than the monsoon glut. Buy certified saplings, the cheap ones brought canker into my plot.

Kagzi lime with thin skin and lots of juice is what the market wants here. Drainage matters, the trees in my low corner suffered after every heavy rain.
