| I'm tryng to grow a key lime here in Connecticut. It blooms and even sets fruit - but it ends up losing all the fruit and most of the leaves during the winter in the house. :( In the summer it grows like crazy outside and I have hopes for my own key limes, someday. Thank you for the article. |

| That sounds very frustrating. Maybe your heated air inside is too dry? |

| I loved this article. I've only had key lime pie once and that was when I was if Miami in the early 90's. I'm definitely going to make your recipes for the holidays. Where can you get cream of coconut? I'm not sure I know what that is. |

| Cream of coconut is a main ingredient in oriental (mostly Thai) cooking and can usually be found on the oriental foods shelf at most grocery stores. |

| Thanks! Now that you mention that, I think I've seen it. I thought that was coconut milk, but I've never used it so I might be mistaken. |

| Enjoyed your article. Just thought I'd add that I have purchased fresh key limes in my local grocery store. I don't think they are available all year long but are more of a seasonal thing here. |

| Key Lime Surprise
I live in Northwest Florida. About 10 years ago I planted a kumquat tree purchased from a gentleman who had a small nursery in a nearby town. The tree has grown and thrived although it never produced many kumquats. This spring it was full of blossoms and I expected a wonderful crop of kumquats. As the summer progressed I did not find any kumquats, however, there were about half a dozen round fruit scattered in the branches of my tree. The fruit is now a beautiful greenish yellow and looks exactly like the Key Limes you have pictured. I plan to harvest them and use your pie recipe. The fruit is larger than a golf ball but much smaller than the satsumas I have growing. This area was once famous for it's satsuma groves which were wiped out in a terrible freeze around 1930. I am very happy to tell you that there is now a wonderful grove of beautiful satsuma trees growing not far from Marianna, Florida. The owners of this grove are also growing tangerines, pink and white grapefruit and navel oranges.
