Citrus Species, Bearss Lime, Tahitian Lime, Persian Lime

It arrived as a tiny green stemmed plant in a cup. The seller says it is a dwarf lime that rarely exceeds 2 feet tall, but four years later, mine is a five foot beauty that is still growing. No fruit yet, but it seems that this variety takes a little longer. I can wait a year or three or however many it needs. I am interested in knowing how large it will be since it is potted. It had no graft scars--being that small on arrival, how could it be grafted on dwarfing root stock--so I'm wondering if there can be a genetic dwarf version or if I will have to prune a lot.

Acidity of fruit measured at pH 1.42, mid-March.
