Limani is an elusive Puerto Rican Sarchimor whose true genetic identity is difficult to verify in the field today.
Limani (Limaní) is a Sarchimor-group variety (Timor Hybrid 832/2 x Villa Sarchi) bred at the Estación Experimental Agrícola in Puerto Rico and released to farmers in 1994. WCR notes that true Limani is very difficult to find because of genetic traceability problems since its original release, so plants sold as Limani often differ from the original. It is described as adapted to low to medium altitudes with intermediate rust resistance.
