Citrus obovata, Fukushu kumquat
Cold hardy to 28F/-2C, can be grown in a pot. Fruits 4-5 yrs from seed.
It’s the fruit that makes it so special. The peel is very sweet and chewy and the fruit inside balances it with a nice tartness. And bc you eat fruit+peel, it’s very nutritious.
I sell seedlings for $15 plus shipping available in early spring. Open to reservations now.

What the insides of the fruit look like.
The peel comes away from the fruit easily and the fruit is sectional/easy to pull apart like a mandarin. The taste of the fruit is like a tart orange but the pith has sugar in it so it’s not completely sour. The peel is very sweet. Sometimes the fruit is seedless, but no more than 2 seeds per fruit.
