Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This outstanding citrus will make any gardener enjoy the fruits of success. An amazing cross between a lime and a kumquat, it produces small, yellow fruit the size of a kumquat. The 'Limequat' is a prolific bloomer and produces an abundance of fruit at a young age. The fruit is more flavorful than an average lime and grows into a contained bushy form.
