Q. What do you know about the citrus called "Limequat"?

A. A tiny (about 2 inches long), round citrus fruit that's a cross between the kumquat and lime. Limequats (Citrus aurantifolia x Fortunella japonica) have a thin, greenish-yellow rind and pale yellow flesh that has a tart lime flavor. As with kumquats, they may be eaten whole, rind and all. Look for firm fruit without blemishes. Refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to a month. Use as you would limes.

It is a small tree that grows into a contained bushy form. The leaves are characteristically citrus-like. The limequat produces an abundance of fruit even at a young age. The fruit is small, oval, greenish yellow and contains seeds or pips. It has a sweet tasting skin and a bitter sweet pulp that tastes similar to limes. The fruit can be eaten whole or the juice and rind can be used to flavor drinks and dishes. It has considerable amounts of vitamin C and is strongly acidic.

Originating in China, this plant is now grown in Japan, Israel, Spain, Malaysia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States in California and Florida. The fruit can be found, in small quantities, during the fall and winter months in the United States.


Limequats can be grown indoors or outdoors providing the temperature stays between 50°F to 86°F (Zone 8-11).They are fairly small and can be planted in containers or pots. Plant limequats in a well drained fertile soil.  Plant anytime of the year, watering it well. Water when nearly dry and add fertilizer occasionally. It can be pruned to keep a shape.

In addition to their role in fruit gardens, the kumquat tree can fulfill various functions in the landscape. It can be used as a small shade tree, a hedge, or property boundaries. It is also used to frame entryways, and serve as backgrounds for small species of flowering plants. Because the trees tend to be compact, they're a good choice for container gardens.

In general, kumquats like full sun, and do best if they are given a well-drained spot. When more than one tree is planted, they should be placed at least ten feet apart both ways.

Kumquat trees tend to be rather bushy and benefit from regular pruning.
