Thanks for the picturet. Red limes are an every day common fruit that is used in countries like Ecuador. - Millet (1,420-)

Very cool. Millet this is the Australian microcitrus, not the common red lime. pagnr any chance you can get some photos of microcitrus in habitat ?

Thanks again for the post !

Thanks Lazz, after reading your post I looked closer at the picture and than noticed the longer "cucumber" type of structure to the fruit. -I had just finished reading a red lime thread by Lorax on the UBC. - Millet (1,420-)

Millet, I have spent a great deal of time as a botanist in Ecuador over the past 42 years, and I have never seen a red lime there. My Ecuadorian graduate student, also a botanist, thinks you probably mean the naranja agria, sour orange, which is often quite red. I brought one of my red limes in this morning, and she says this is not what they call naranja agria. I also asked my Colombian daughter-in-law (also a botanist) if she had ever seen this in Colombia and she said no.

tolumnia in FL there are two fruits called red limes. One I believe is really a sour mandarin and the other is probably a form of Rangpur .

I have both a red lime and a Rangpur, at least that is what I bought over at Just Fruits in the panhandle. Only the one labeled red lime has fruited for me so far, the one pictured. Some people have liked the fruit, but I think it is fairly poor, although it makes good marmalade. I have a lot of other sour things that are better.

Laaz,

Here is what Just Fruits says about their red and Rangpur limes

RANGPUR LIME Super cold hardy limes! Small, compact trees produce beautiful red-fleshed limes much like Key Limes in size and flavor. Self fertile. Zones 8B-10. $39.99 3 gal (3-4ft).

Sorry, not available at this time.

RED LIME Super cold hardy limes (even a little better than Rangpur)! Small, compact trees produce beautiful red-fleshed limes much like Key Limes in size and flavor. This is a rare find. Self fertile. Zones 8A-10. $39.99 3 gal (3-4ft).

Lol... Rangpur taste like key lime ? Never have I had one taste like a key.

Yep, I thought that was pretty good also. The red lime that I have looks great, but the taste is not too much to my liking. It certainly is nothing like a key lime. The Rangpur is loaded with flower buds, so I hope to find out what it tastes like in a few months.

How do the red lime and rangpur Plants compare?

I will photograph them when I get home and post the pics tomorrow.

Here is a pic of my red lime. The photos of the Rangpur are fuzzy and out of focus, so I'll re-do them tomorrow.

I had a Rangpur lime, but tossed it out as, I thought the taste was uneatable. - Millet

Here are the pics of my Rangpur lime. In one you can see the red lime in the background. The taste of the red lime is nothing to get excited about. Since I can plant them outside, I think they will look nice in the yard, even if the fruit is poor.
