Fortunella obovata

Fukushu Kumquat

A naturally small tree with a spreading habit that is valued as much for its ornamental appearance as it is for its exceptional fruit. At up to 1.5 long, the fruit is much larger than both Meiwa and Nagami Kumquats. The fruit boasts a thin, edible rind with tart, acidic flesh and few seeds. Works great as a container plant. Especially fragrant blossoms with fruit ripening in winter, however its possible to get multiple harvests.
