Q.Do Rangpur Limes Left On Tree Year Round Take Nutrients From A New Season Of Fruit?

I think mine is rangpur, just bought the house. Right now there are lots on my tree. Orange color and sweet. Will a new crop of green limes start if all current fruit is not picked?

I looked at several sources and none of them said it was detrimental to leave the fruit, although it should be picked when it is orange. One source said the tree is practically everbearing because the fruit holds on so long.
