Any opinions as to the edibility of these two in comparison to each other ?
I have a rootstock var. and also seedlings of another type that are much better to eat. Fruit looks similar to photos of the 'Borneo' cultivar.
Are there any "better" varieties of Rangpur around. |

I don't know any better edible Rangpur Selections, only the acidless 'Pinochio' or 'Otaheite' will be not that acid, as comon Rangpur is.
But in all other cases, i do not found any difference in taste regarding the different Rangpur selections...

It seems that Australia has some varieties we don't have here in the US, I have never heard or seen a KUSAIE rangpur. Another Australian fruit I am trying to figure out is your Lemonade citrus... Seems it is some type of hybrid available only in Aust.
