Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Renowned as a container-grown citrus, it's a prolific producer of small edible oranges. Adding to its ornamental appeal, the fruit hangs on the tree for months and there's an abundance of tiny fragrant flowers. A cross between a kumquat and an orange, the fruit is sour and often used in marmalades.
