Trees cultivated from seedlings take 4–8 years before producing a harvest. They attain their maximal yield at about 10 years of age. Trees produced from cuttings and air layering bear fruit much sooner, sometimes producing fruit (though not a serious harvest) a year after planting. It takes approximately 9 months from the blossom to the fruit. When the fruit have grown to harvesting size and begin to turn yellow they are picked and not clipped. To achieve produce of the highest market value, it is important not to pick the fruit too early in the morning; the turgor is high then, and handling turgid fruit releases the peel oils and may cause spoilage.<sup id="cite_ref-CRC_handbook_17-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CRC_handbook-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Postharvest_process">Postharvest process</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Key_lime&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Postharvest process"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Starr_080610-8303_Citrus_aurantiifolia.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Starr_080610-8303_Citrus_aurantiifolia.jpg/220px-Starr_080610-8303_Citrus_aurantiifolia.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Starr_080610-8303_Citrus_aurantiifolia.jpg/330px-Starr_080610-8303_Citrus_aurantiifolia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Starr_080610-8303_Citrus_aurantiifolia.jpg/440px-Starr_080610-8303_Citrus_aurantiifolia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2816" data-file-height="2112" /></a><figcaption>Key lime fruits with persistent <a href="/wiki/Gynoecium#Carpels" title="Gynoecium">styles</a></figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/Shelf_life" title="Shelf life">Shelf life</a> of Key limes is an important consideration in marketing.
