So, my favorite lemon/lime in the world, the limón mandarina, is impossible to find in the States. I can´t recall ever seeing it. I believe it may be called a Mandarin lime or a Rangpur lime, but the photos I´ve seen of those don´t correspond to what I know.
It has the freshest lime taste you can imagine and is a perfect palatte cleanser.

Rangpur limes would be unlikely in your part of the country. They are available in the Southwest and in parts of California - I have one myself. Sort of the Meyer lemon of limedom. It's possible that a local nursery could order one for you, but you're best bet would be to use it as a potted tree and keep it indoors during winter. While not especially frost or cold sensitive, that means not especially for the Southwest or California..

I ordered a lime tree from gurneys.com but they substituted it with a rangpur lime, or at least that is how it was labeled when I received it. you might wanna give them a shot. Right now it is outside on my back deck but I'll be bringing it inside when it gets too cold. I've had mine for about a month now and it has about an inch of new growth. This is the link...

Hi! We have those in Argentina, not in buenos aires but In Misiones, close to the iguazu falls. I get them by friends living there who ship them to me. I´m an absolute fan of this lemmon. I couldnt find out the real name and species. I planted the seeds, and now I have 4 small trees!! I hope they give fruit soon... Cheers
