Product Details
Weight: 20.00 kg
Botanical Name: Citrus japonica

📌 Product Description
Citrus japonica, commonly known as Kumquat, is a unique and highly ornamental citrus tree that produces small, oval to round orange fruits with a sweet edible skin and tart, tangy flesh. Unlike most citrus, the entire fruit is eaten whole, offering a distinctive balance of sweet and sour flavours.
This compact, evergreen tree is both productive and decorative, featuring glossy green foliage and fragrant white blossoms. It is well-suited to small gardens and container growing, making it a versatile addition to patios and courtyards.
Kumquats are enjoyed fresh, preserved, candied, or used in marmalades and desserts.
