Limequat 'Eustis'

Great Citrus Tree - Finally transferred my Eustis Limequat to the ground, but very damaged this year at 13 degrees. We covered and put i...Read Morensulating pipe foam on the graft and several inches above. We'll see if this one survives.
Did ok in the large pot, but we wanted more fruit.

I just found another at a plant nursery. Very excited.

Wanted to let all know that the yellow fruit tastes like a not so sour lemon. Really like a lemon. Even yellow at harvest.
The fruit will fall to the ground & can be picked up days later.
Love this tree.

Great compact citrus 'bush' (in my case, though others have them as dwarf trees). They don't really taste like limes to me (and my buddy ...Read Morestill insists they are sweet lemons!, and we are both UK 'limeys' LOL) - but its a nice sweet citrus taste nonetheless.
Heavy cropping of kumquat shaped fruit throughout the year. Your glass will never be short of a garnish.
Yes, I killed my 5ft high Eustis trying to transplant it. Once established they are robust- mine thrived on neglect for 4 years as a 'snowbird' gardener - but transplanting them can be a crap shoot.
More difficult to find than might be expected (I live within 50 miles of Lakeland, Eustis and Tavares - but am struggling to find a replacement limequat - it seems I will be better off seeking a seller near Tampa).

Citrus tree with tasty sweet yellow fruits with very thin skin, similar in appearance to kumquats ... not sure how similar in taste (not ...Read Moretried). Grown in California on a small commercial scale. Relatively easy to grow, hardly shrubby tree resistant to withertip. Fruits all year round, but mostly in fall and early winter.
