APPEARANCE Rating: 




Looks identical to a tangerine – inside and out.
AROMA Rating: 




Strong, floral and perfumy lime fragrance. Almost as complicated as the Kaffir lime.
TEXTURE Rating: 




Juicy and luscious with very few seeds, if any.
TASTE Rating: 




Extremely sour, distinct lemon-lime flavor with the slightest hint of tangerine (I concede this may be related to how it looks, but I did try it with my eyes closed just to check).
OVERALL Overall Rating: 




This lime is just crazy cool and the devious part of me aches to trick everyone I know into thinking it is a little, sweet tangerine. Oh how I wish these were around during Halloween. Have you noticed yet how much I mention Halloween? It’s not because I am obsessed with the holiday (although maybe a little bit), but more that I am constantly reminded of it. Who knew the world of fruit could be so crafty and clever?
NOTES
Hilariously this “lime” isn’t a lime at all but actually a hybrid between a mandarin and a lemon. It is also known by the names: marmalade lime, canton lemon, mandarin lime and lemandarin. As you might imagine, “lemandarin” is my favorite and I intend to start going by lefruitmaven as often as possible (or at least when I’m not going by “Fruit Maven the Elder“).

I like to grow this plant. Where can I buy The seeds of this fruit ?Thank You, James
My search for a green exterior like a lime with an orange flesh,
stated it was a Rangpur Lime (mandarin & Lemon hybrid)
But all of the pics I see show the exterior being orange?
They are absolutely Fabulous! A friend in Houston had the tree
but forgot what it was called. So when they are super ripe, do
they turn green?
