Abstract

A new and distinct hybrid cultivar of finger lime plant named ‘UF RedLime’, characterized by precocious bearing trees containing intense red-colored, cylindrical-shaped fruits with a blunt protuberance on both ends and dark red ovoid to pyriform juice vesicles that detach easily from the locules. ‘UF RedLime’ produces annual crops of well-colored dark red fruit that do not require prolonged cold induction to express anthocyanin both internally and externally under Central Florida conditions. Both the rind and juice vesicles have enhanced anthocyanin accumulation. Additionally, the rind of ‘UF RedLime’ contains oil glands, and pleasantly fragrant oil can be released during cutting, especially with recently harvested fruit.
