The Limequat is a self-fertile cross between the Kumquat tree and the Key Lime, (or Mexican Lime). This versatile little fruit can be eaten without peeling, like a Kumquat. They are also great for their juice and have a sweeter, more orange-like taste than Key Lime. Limequats do have seeds, but they are packed with a surprising amount of juice for their small size. They are easy to grow, tolerant of a range of conditions, and can produce numerous, juicy Limequats even on a small tree.
The Limequat is suited for growing in the ground in USDA Zones 8 -11, and in a pot brought indoors in Zones 4 – 11. In fact, the Limequat is one of the best citrus trees to grow in a pot, because the smaller size of the tree and fruit respond well to the container-grown method. In the ground, the Limequat will reach a size of 6 to 10 feet tall and as wide. In a pot, the tree can reach sizes of between 4 to 8 feet tall, depending on location and container size.

Nicely cultivated little tree! Something was eating it however during it’s travel to me? Half moons out of the leaves but 5 stars, it’s healthy well cropped and thriving. I checked yesterday and I see white buds forming all over! Even as small as it is! Nice work citrus!
