Rangpur Lime, Mandarin Lime |
The Rangpur, or Mandarin Lime is a vigorous growing, small, compact tree with orange fruit and orange to red flesh. You may think you are looking at a small orange, but this is definitely a lime with its sharp, distinct, lemon-lime flavor! New growth is lightly purple-tinted and the fragrant flowers are blushed with purple.
This tree has hourglass-shaped, deep green, glossy leaves on thorny stems with distinctive, warty green fruit. The fabulous fragrance is refreshing and uplifting.
Fragrant, long-blooming citrus trees are perfect for the Northern California garden. Their evergreen nature provides rich green color all year round. Not to mention the abundant and delicious fruit you will harvest.
