I've had my Limequat for several years, and have it planted next to my Kumquat. For a while it only bore few fruit, but finally this yea...Read Morer it is loaded with fruit! I believe this is because the tree was pruned last season and also now gets more sunlight. The fruit tastes great (just like a lime) and is the perfect size for drinks. There is always a waiting list for the limequats, so I'm glad the harvest will be much greater this year. I live in NE Florida where we occasionally get hard freezes, which doesn't seem to bother the Limequat. Very hardy plant with delicious fruit.
I found the limequat, calamondin, and trifoiler lemon plants, on clearance at Lowe's Lakewood, WA. in November. The plants are small (14 ...Read Morein.) but already producing limequats. The foliage is excellent. Several bright green, shiny leaves appear every day. (The others plants are blooming and I expect fruit from them as well.) The fragrance of the blooms is incomparable. The scent fills the air better than any air freshener possible. I may never move them outdoors. What a an enjoyable time I am having with these three.
I simply have them on the floor, in front of the sliding glass door, in back. (Be careful where you place them, though, they appear to have small thorns.)

They are both full of fruit not sure when they are ready to harvest. I have them in a bedroom with two grow lights in the room. I know it is not cold enough for them to be harmed here but we have had nothing but rain. I felt they needed more light and brought them inside. I will put them out in the spring. I have blooms coming out on both bushes and plenty of fruit on both.
A cross between a lime and a Kumquat - small like a kumquat and can be eaten like one (with the peel on) but tastes like a lime. It looks...Read More like a very small lime. Limequat fruits all year long so long as it gets some sun. Anytime a few warm days come along, it starts blooming again. Unlike a kumquat tree that grows tall and slender, the limquat grows similarly to the lime (fuller and rounder crown). And like all citrus, it has thorns. Very pretty tree and easy to prune and maintain. Doesn't mind cold, although very cold winters probably wouldn't suit it. Extremely rich in Vitamin C! The fruits can be used in cooking as in any recipe calling for lemon or lime. They are also great in marmalades and added to cold drinks.
