Limequat (Citrus × floridana)

Limequat (Citrus × floridana) is a unique tropical citrus plant prized for its glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white blossoms, and small edible lime-like fruit. A hybrid between a lime and kumquat, limequat produces tangy citrus fruit with edible sweet skin and juicy tart flesh, making it popular for fresh use, beverages, preserves, and decorative edible gardening.

The compact branching growth habit and shiny dark green leaves create a lush tropical appearance ideal for patios, sunrooms, and bright indoor spaces. In bloom, fragrant white citrus flowers fill the surrounding area with sweet perfume while attracting pollinators outdoors during summer. The small oval fruit develops attractive green to yellow colouring as it matures, adding ornamental beauty alongside edible value.

Limequat thrives in warm sunny conditions and performs exceptionally well in decorative containers. In Alberta, it is commonly grown outdoors during the warmer months and brought indoors before cold weather arrives. Bright south-facing windows, sunrooms, or greenhouse conditions help support healthy year-round growth.

Regular feeding, good drainage, and strong light encourage flowering, fruiting, and lush evergreen foliage while maintaining an attractive compact shape.
