Five-page report retrieved and visually read in Chrome. Arizona field establishment trial of ‘Corona Foothills’ lemon on eight rootstocks; trees planted June 2017. Page 5 says only height and scion/rootstock trunk-diameter data had been collected. Reported table headings use cm for height and diameters; values are retained exactly without correcting or interpreting the units. No yield, fruit quality, HLB, or resistance result is reported.

Fruit Maven's Rangpur lime tasting account. The URL indicates January 2010, but an exact publication date was not established. The author says the sample came from Specialty Produce and Rancho Del Sol in Jamul, California; the specific Rangpur clone is not identified. The author describes it as extremely sour and juicy, with few seeds. Hedonic star ratings are retained as opinion and are not translated into taste-intensity scores.

Permaculture Toowoomba profile by Debbie Bassingthwaighte. The page displays 22 August but no year was verified. Its reported general fruit-seed range and site/cold context should remain attributed to the page and separate from the Fruit Maven tasting sample.

Official UCR Citrus Variety Collection account. Use its Rangpur history and generalized cultivar description only at the scope stated by the page. Its USA Rangpur accession's seed-arrival record in 1996 is accession-specific and does not date the origin of Rangpur Lime as a general cultivar.

University of Hawaiʻi CTAHR guide (2007), pp. 33–34. It calls Rangpur Lime ‘Kona’ Lime in Hawaiʻi and recommends further selection among cultivars. Treat Kona Lime as a regional name for Rangpur Lime, not evidence that every named Rangpur clone is identical.

Summary from transcript: The presenter tastes one Rangpur fruit supplied by Monterey Bay CRFG; its orchard source is unknown. He describes the flesh as orange, calls the fruit very sour, and gives a mandarin-and-lemon flavor with a smoky note. He says it works better as a drink mixed with water and sugar than in the dal meal tested. These are subjective impressions from one fruit; no Brix, acidity, pH, weight, or standardized taste scale is reported. English auto-generated captions cover 0:00–7:49 of 7:52; no verified upload date.

Summary from transcript: The speaker describes Rangpur as orange inside, very sour, and flavorful, and mentions juice, salad, and cocktail uses. He recounts Rangpur as rootstock whose shoots overtook an upper graft, but the scion name is unclear in the captions and is not identified here. This account gives no sample count, measured taste, or temperature; the general “hardy” wording is not a cold-hardiness threshold. English auto-generated captions cover 0:00–1:53 of 1:56; no verified upload date.

W. P. Bitters · Journal of Citrus Pathology (digital special topic) · 2021 (digital edition; manuscript circa 1986)
At printed p. 82 (PDF p. 88), Bitters summarizes Moreira et al. (1965), who placed Rangpur Lime among the “good” rootstock drought-resistance group. The source describes nucellar Bara and Valencia Late orange, Dancy tangerine, and Eureka lemon scions budded on 77 tristeza-tolerant rootstocks under nonirrigated conditions in Brazil. It does not identify the accession or clone of any listed rootstock, provide a variety-specific sample count, or report a measured threshold.

Table 2, printed p. 28, reports counts for seedlings in Substation 15 plots inoculated in 1950: cotton-root-rot deaths in 1951 and 1952, and seedlings alive in September 1952. Counts are not percentages; the table gives no per-row denominator. The paper cautions that freeze injury, other diseases, and planting-date differences complicated comparisons.

Table 1, printed p. 83, reports adjusted and unadjusted cold-injury ratings and trunk circumference for named rootstocks under Valencia orange tops. The 10-year-old planting was at Weirsdale, Florida; injury followed winter 1957–58 freezes and ratings were made June 18, 1958. The study-specific ratings are comparative rootstock results, not traits of the rootstock variety as a scion or a temperature threshold.
