Nippon Orangequat Budwood

Citrus 'Nippon'.

The Nippon Orangequat is a hardy, small, and often weeping evergreen tree that is a hybrid between a Satsuma mandarin and a Meiwa kumquat. It is prized for its edible, thick, and sweet rind combined with a tart, juicy, and orange-flavored flesh, making it excellent for marmalades and fresh eating. The fragrant white flowers blossom late winter to early spring.
