Citrangequat 4 seasons

Citrangequats are a very particular group of citrus fruits, obtained through the controlled crossing of a Citrange with a Kumquat. Citranges are hybrids between a Sweet Orange and a Trifoliate Orange. Most of the Citrangequats were developed by W. Swingle in the early 20th century in Florida, with the main goal of combining the high cold resistance of Kumquats and Trifoliate Oranges into a variety that also produced edible fruits. In fact, as a result of his experiments, the Thomasville Citrangequat was selected, which is the most cold-resistant edible citrus known.

The Citrangequat 4 seasons is characterized by an almost continuous flowering, which allows for fruit availability for almost the entire year, hence its name. The fruits are medium-sized, larger than kumquats, with a pear-shaped morphology and a pronounced basal neck. The skin is slightly thick, has a mild aroma, and reaches an attractive bright yellow color at maturity. The flesh is pale yellow, sour, and tangy. It contains seeds.

The tree has ornamental value. The juice is a good substitute for lemon in rice and fish.
