The Limequat tree is a citrus hybrid that results from crossing a Key lime with a kumquat. It is a small evergreen tree with a compact and bushy growth habit, typically reaching a height of about 6 to 10 feet at maturity.
 
The Limequat tree is known for its abundant and attractive fruit production. The fruit resembles small round or oval limes but has a unique combination of lime and kumquat flavors. The skin is thin and smooth, and when fully ripe, it turns from green to a vibrant yellow or orange-yellow color.
 
The Limequat fruit is prized for its tart and acidic flavor, similar to that of a lime but with a sweeter and slightly less acidic taste. The pulp inside is juicy and typically contains seeds, although some seedless varieties are available. Limequats can be eaten fresh, used in culinary applications, or used to make refreshing beverages.
 
One of the appealing aspects of the Limequat tree is its ability to bear fruit throughout the year, with peak harvest periods occurring in the late fall and winter months. This consistent fruiting makes it a popular choice for home gardens, patio containers, or even as an ornamental tree.
Limequat trees are adaptable to various climates and can be grown in both tropical and subtropical regions. They require full sun and well-drained soil for optimal growth. With proper care and suitable conditions, Limequat trees can thrive and provide a bountiful harvest.
