We have one lime (most likely kaffir or tahitian)on our property (within a fruits throw of the Ragpur) that is still young, but produces 20-30 limes a season...but they are much smaller, drier (most citrus is drier than the Rangpur!) & not as colorful or flavorful.... I love the Rangpur!
Another absolutely marvelous lime is the MEYER LIME (No, not the meyer LEMON, this is a dwarf lime with large bright, juicy green flesh with a hint of sweetness....a friend of ours has one in Puueo....tried some starts from cuttings, some grew to seedling size, but lack of motherly care struck...& haven't tried since....)
Our neighbor had talked about cutting down the Rangpur a few years ago as they really do not use much of the fruit & I agreed to care for the tree (the trunk is near our property line) just so they would keep it...if they ever do chop it...auwee!
