The Red Lime is a rare and eye-catching citrus hybrid that combines the sweetness of a kumquat with the vibrant character of the Rangpur Lime. Its distinctive orange-red skin and richly colored flesh make it one of the most unique citrus varieties available. While it looks unlike a traditional lime, its flavor closely resembles one, offering bright citrus notes with abundant juice and a milder tartness.

This attractive evergreen tree is an excellent addition to backyard orchards, edible landscapes, and container gardens. The colorful fruit, dependable harvests, and unusual appearance make the Red Lime a favorite among citrus enthusiasts looking to grow something truly different.
