Know before you buy
A limequat is a hybrid of a lime and a kumquat, offering a flavor profile that is more complex and vibrant than a standard lime. Because you can eat the skin, it provides a unique balance of tart citrus juice and a slightly sweet, aromatic rind.
This tree is naturally compact and typically grows to between 1 and 3 feet tall. Its bushy growth habit makes it an ideal choice for indoor spaces or patios where vertical space is limited.
Yes, this citrus tree requires full sun to thrive and produce fruit. If you are growing it indoors, place it in your sunniest south-facing window or use a high-quality grow light to ensure it receives enough energy.
Because this plant is grafted, it is already mature enough to bloom and fruit at a young age. You can expect to see fruit much sooner than you would with a tree grown from seed.
The Limequat is hardy in USDA zones 9-10 and requires a minimum temperature of 50°F. If you live in a climate that experiences frost or temperatures below 50°F, you must bring the tree indoors during the colder months.
This variety features an intermittent bloom season, meaning it can produce fragrant flowers and fruit at various times throughout the year rather than just once per season.
