DESCRIPTION
Citrange-quat 4 season (Fortunella margarita x (Poncirus trifoliata x Citrus sinensis)) is a very particular variety.
It’s a hybrid between… a hybrid and a kumquat. It may seems funny but its caracteristics are so interesting.
PLANT
-Tree features: Citrange-quat 4 season is a very low growing variety. Obviously, because of the Poncirus trifoliata inside, it takes years to grow.
It’s a very compact plant.
-Leaves: Very small dark green leaves, with short internodes.
FRUIT
-Taste: it tastes like a lemon. It’s a little bit acid, but skin can be used too.
-Colour: Yellow outside, light yellow inside.
SEASON OF RIPENESS
As the name suggests, it’s a 4 season variety.
It blooms almost every season, and fruits can be found every season of the year too.
This feature makes it a very kind variety to grow.
HOW TO USE IT
-In the Kitchen: you can squeez it like a lemon, but also zest it to make cakes, or give your meals a refreshing taste.
-Ornamental: It’s one of the most beautiful ornamental plant. Its slow and compact growing, but also its strong tendency to flowering and fruiting, makes it one of the best good looking variety.
