Yes, in fact, they do. I was with a group from my church in Reynosa, Mexico where the average temperature is about 106 degrees fahrenheit. At one of the sites where we were building houses, we found a tree with fruit that looked like lime on it. We asked the owner of the lot, and he confirmed that it was in fact a lime tree.

They grow on a tree like other citrus fruits (lemons, Oranges, tangerines, grapefruit).

The difference is that limes stay green when they ripen, and are therefore harder to identify as ripe. Either a skilled eye or a sensitive touch can be used, although mechanical harvesting can shake loose any that are nearly ripe, especially those to be made into juice anyway.

Lime trees grow in tropical or semitropical climates. A lime is a great fruit to use when making Key Lime Pie.

The citrus fruit known as lime grows in tropical or semi-tropical environments. A lime cut up and put in ice water is a great refreshment.
