Citrus-Lime x limonia ‘Rangpur’
Citrus x limonia 'Rangpur' is the red lime producing a fruit with a dark orange peel and acidic, orange flesh.
Citrus x limonia ‘Rangpur’ is a hybrid between a mandarin orange and a citron often called a red lime. It produces a small fruit with a deep orange peel and reddish orange flesh with an acidic flavour like a lime. The overlap of prolific fruit and purple tinged blooms make this a wonderful ornamental tree. Popular in mixed drinks or simply sliced for iced tea. All of our citrus are grafted onto C-35 citrange, trifoliate orange, or other semi-dwarfing rootstock which confer good hardiness and production while reducing overall tree size.
