Fortunella margarita "Kumquat"

The kumquat is a tropical, fruit-bearing small tree that is attractive as a landscape plant both in the garden and in a large container.

This broadleaf evergreen has dark green, glossy leaves and produces olive-size fruits that resemble a miniature orange. Once classified in the Fortunella genus, the kumquat is now classified as Citrus japonica, joining the same genus as oranges, lemons, and similar fruit-bearing trees. When ripe, kumquat fruit has a sweet, edible skin with slightly sour flesh inside. Kumquat trees have a moderate growth rate, gaining up to 24 inches per year.
