Spanish Lime (Melicoccus bijugatus), also called Quenepa or Mamoncillo, is a tropical fruit tree producing small green fruits with sweet, tangy pulp surrounding a large seed. It grows best in full sun with well-drained soil and regular watering, and benefits from pruning to maintain shape and promote fruiting. The fruits are enjoyed fresh, made into beverages, or used in desserts—making Spanish Lime a tasty, culturally significant addition to tropical food forests.
