Rangpur Rossa and Indio Mandarinquat
Both are small plants in my greenhouse. The fruits might get bigger when my plants are older. I wonder if the Rangpur label is correct. The fruits are neither red nor sour as indicated on Lenzi's website.... but Rangpur giallo would also have to be sour....
Indio is sweet with slight acidity, very tasty. The bark is also edible, no particular flavor but nothing unpleasant either.
Rangpur Rossa is bland but sweet, lacking acidity to achieve a good taste . The bark has slight secondary aromas, but not really strong. The taste is different from what Lenzi indicates. I can't find any acidity there.

I added some lemon juice to Rangpur and let it soak in. It tastes then quite pleasant.

None of the red rangpur limes seem to go beyond dark orange citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/bishop_red.htmlSame with the red rough lemons, which are a similar colour. There is an actual red colour red rough lemon, which is a dark red skin fruit. There are also red limes, these are more red than the rangpur. Red limes seem to be more lime like plants than rangpur. |

I bought this one, it is described as red, but it does not look truely red in the photos on the website, but it is described as red in the text. it is also not sour as described but sweet.
mine resembles most this here, but even there the taste description does not agree with mine...

I have eaten Rangpur and I do not like the taste at all.

How about a pic of the foliage, and any new growth tips, they should be pink /red

I have posted my guesses earlier in this thread. But none of them are described as sweet....

Yes that's a puzzle ??
There are non acid rangpurs,
"i.e. Otaheite orange, this fruit should be properly regarded as an acidless or sweet form of the Rangpur and therefore should probably be called the Otaheite Rangpur.
The tree is similar to the common Rangpur but less vigorous and hence dwarfed. It is almost thornless and the purple coloration on the new shoot growth is more intense. Likewise, the fruit is similar but somewhat smaller, more commonly necked, contains fewer normal seeds (often none), and is insipidly sweet from lack of acid. "
There are a few other similar types of non acid forms.
