Oval Kumquat

The Oval Kumquat, scientifically known as Citrus margarita, is a popular citrus tree prized for its small, edible fruits that feature sweet rinds and tart, acidic flesh. Native to Southeast Asia, this compact evergreen tree adapts exceptionally well to container gardening as well as traditional orchard cultivation. It thrives in warm, sunny climates and brings ornamental value with its glossy dark green leaves, fragrant white blossoms, and vibrant golden-orange fruits that persist through the winter season. Unlike most other citrus fruits, kumquats are consumed whole, offering a unique flavor contrast between the sweet skin and tangy interior.
