Nagami cumquat trees can be quite decorative with their narrow leaf and contrasting orange fruits. The foliage is deep green and can be quite dense when more mature, making it a lovely specimen tree that also provides a cute, zingy little fruit. The tree is quite a slow grower, reaching about 2 – 4m in the ground over its entire lifetime. This slower growth makes even the normal (fullsize) variety suitable for keeping in a large pot, which is excellent when you’ve got limited space.
It produces small, orange, oval-shaped fruit. The fruit is eaten whole with the inner flesh being quite tart, while the outer skin is very sweet, making it a very refreshing combination of flavours.
