Citrus japonica 'Kumquat' ( Citrus japonica Thunb. ) have thornless branches and extremely glossy leaves. They bear dainty white flowers that occur in clusters or individually inside the leaf axils. They bear yellowish-orange fruits that are oval or round in shape. The fruits have a sweet, pulpy skin and slightly acidic inner pulp.
The grower instructs that the fruits are more for decoration than consumption.
The generic name originated from Latin, where it referred to either the plant now known as citron (C. medica) or a conifer tree (Thuja). It is related to the ancient Greek word for cedar, κέδρος (kédros).
