Default Bearss Lime

We have a productive Bearss lime tree in our backyard, but I'm not sure when
the fruit is at its best.

Limes in the grocery store have shiny smooth skins. The fruit on our tree
is fuzzy, until it eventually turns yellow (which I think is overripe). Am
I just missing the smooth, green phase? Or are Bearss limes different?

Thanks/Regards

Not knowing lime from a coconut, I did some reading up via Google and now I
know!
