Red Lime Plant

Excalibur Red Lime: A hybrid cross between a kumquat and a Rangpur lime, featuring a thin edible skin and dark reddish peel.

Fruit: Oval to round, egg-shaped, roughly the size of a small hen's egg or large olive, ripening to a deep burgundy, red, or orange-red.

Flesh: Contains juicy, pink-to-red vesicles or citrus pearls that burst with flavor.

Flavor Profile: Less intensely sour than a standard key lime or regular lime (rating about an 8 out of 10 on sourness), blending lime and kumquat-like sweetness with subtle hints of raspberry or mandarin orange.

Foliage: Dense dark green leaves accompanied by small, sweet-aromatic flowers.

Hardiness: Self-pollinating, productive, and reasonably hardy in mild-to-cool climates if protected from harsh frost.
