An experiment was carried out to find the effect of different season on the growth dynamics of Kuliana lime during 2016-17 at Horticultural Research Station, Department of Fruit Science and Horticulture Technology, O.U.A.T., Bhubaneswar. Acid lime being tropical fruit crop, its flushing is dependent on the variation of climatic factors. Generally, the timing and rate of vegetative and reproductive growths are regulated by autonomous or environmental factors. Before going for breeding work for crop improvement, one should have sound knowledge on the growth pattern of the Kuliana lime plant. The vegetative growth of the plant like plant height, girth, canopy volume, number of leaves per shoot, number of spines per shoot, length of shoot, diameter of the shoot, internode length, dry weight of the shoot are recorded to be highest during the rainy season and spring season was best in production of new growth flush or tertiary shoots. The Canopy spread during spring season and rainy season were at par with each other and minimum was recorded during the winter season.
