The Rangpur is often mistaken for a mandarin as is fruits look much closer to mandarins than limes.

It is easily peeled and can be broken into segments like a mandarin, but it has a distinct strong acidic lime flavour. The tree is very vigorous and is sometimes used as a rootstock because of this strong growing trait.

It is more cold tolerant than all the other limes. It produces an abundance of fruit from late autumn through to spring. If you can overlook a lime fruit being orange in colour, then this is a fantastic choice.
