Mandarinquat Tree

The Mandarinquat tree was first developed in California in the 1930s and has become increasingly popular in recent years. Mandarinquat Tree is a hybrid between a mandarin orange tree and a kumquat tree.

 Mandarinquat trees share characteristics of both parent trees. The skin is orange and usually smooth, though it can sometimes be slightly bumpy. The orange flesh of the Mandarinquat fruit is juicy and sweet, with a slight tartness reminiscent of kumquats. The skin is also edible, with a sweeter flavour than the flesh. Some people describe the taste of a Mandarinquat as similar to marmalade or candy.

Mandarinquat trees produce fruit that is small, round and typically 2-4 cm in circumference. They are larger than kumquats but smaller than most oranges.

Mandarinquat trees are small to medium in size, growing 2-3 meters tall and wide. They are easy to care for and can be grown in containers or planted in the ground. Mandarinquats are often used in decorative arrangements because of their beautiful orange colour.
