This rugged little tree has performed phenomenally for me.
Its about 12 yrs old, and was given to me by a good friend in FL.
I found out that this is a special hybrid, but it has seeds? and apparently my tree came true from seed? Maybe I'm mistaken? But I've tasted fruits from a tree labeled as Procimequat, and mine are the same, and the person who gave me the tree, planted the seed (so it's not grafted or a cutting).
The tree seems resistant to greening, and bugs! Maybe because it's a whacky hybrid, or because it's to short to be noticed!
The fruits can be eaten skin and all, and they taste like.........hmmmm......
celery, lemon, and orange.
I've really grown to like them, but I haven't found too many kumquats that I will eat skin and all. These fruits are of a different nature, and would probably be good as a garnish, or candied, or cooked somehow.
The trees flower and fruit for a good portion of the year.
Anyone else growing this one?
here is a fabulous link I found about this plant...makes me happy to have one.
