Kumquat Kumquat Kumquats (or cumquats in Australian English, ; "Citrus japonica") are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae. They were previously classified as forming the now historical genus "Fortunella", or placed within "Citrus sensu lato". The edible fruit closely resembles the orange ("Citrus sinensis") in color and shape but is much smaller, being approximately the size of a large olive. Kumquat is a fairly cold-hardy citrus. The English name "kumquat" derives from the Cantonese "gām-gwāt" , literally meaning "golden orange" or "golden tangerine". The kumquat plant is native to south Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.
Kumquat other kumquats by its distinctly round leaves. It is typically grown for its edible fruit and as an ornamental plant, but cannot withstand frost like the round kumquat. These kumquats are often seen near the Yuvraj section of the Nayak Province. The 'Centennial Variegated' kumquat cultivar arose spontaneously from the oval kumquat. It produces a greater proportion of fruit to peel than the oval kumquat, and the fruit are rounder and sometimes necked. Fruit are distinguishable by their variegation in color, exhibiting bright green and yellow stripes. The tree is distinguishable by its lack of thorns. Kumquats are much hardier
