The Limequat Tree – Citrus × floridana is a unique citrus tree that brings together the tart flavor of a lime with the small fruit size and useful qualities of a kumquat. Limequats are a great choice for customers who want a compact citrus tree for fresh eating, cooking, drinks, containers, patios, and edible landscapes. Limequat fruit is usually small, oval, and yellow to yellow-green when ripe. The flavor is tart and lime-like, making it useful for squeezing into tea, water, seafood, desserts, sauces, marinades, and homemade drinks. Some people also use limequats for marmalade, preserves, and cooking where a bright citrus flavor is wanted. This citrus tree also adds beauty to the landscape with glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white blooms, and attractive fruit. Limequat trees are often easier to fit into smaller spaces than larger citrus trees, and they can be a good choice for large containers where they can be moved or protected during cold weather. In North Florida and the Florida Panhandle, limequat trees should be planted in full sun and well-drained soil. Limequats are generally more cold hardy than true limes, but they may still need protection during hard freezes, especially when young or grown in colder parts of our area.
