Limes are typically harvested when they are fully ripe, which is usually when they reach a bright green color and have a slightly glossy appearance. Depending on the variety, this can occur about 6 to 8 months after flowering. However, they can also be picked when they are still slightly immature and green, as they will continue to ripen off the tree. Ultimately, the best time to harvest limes is when they feel slightly soft to the touch, indicating they are juicy and ready for consumption.
