This Rangpur lime "seedling" finally fruited, these pea size fruit have been held for about 7 months, I think they have stopped growing any bigger.
The fruit are quite hard, and the stem is unusual.
I was hoping for something a bit more useful from this plant, maybe next year, it may set seeded fruit that get a bit bigger??

Your tree looks very deficient in iron. That alone can effect the trees fruit.. - Millet

it looks more like an iron deficiency than a variegation to me... although i'd say the main concern here might even be a potassium deficiency, which quite often stunts the further development of the fruit.

Yes thanks Millet, the seedling is tempremental in it's requirements, I budded it onto Rangpur rootstock, and these aren't deficient. I will try to correct and see if they ripen. Not sure if deficiency would freeze fruit development to such an extent, these remind me more of some Rutacea Citrus relative.
No Laaz. not the same as 'green vari rangpur'
