Changshou kumquat, Fortunella obovata, is also called
the Fukushu
kumquat in Japan. The naturally small tree is very ornamental,
has a spreading form, and is
thornless. The leaves are larger and broader than other kumquat
species.
The fruit is also larger and slightly different in shape.
Changshou is about one and one-half inches long and
oval with a depressed apex. The rind is orange and thinner than
Nagami or Meiwa. The
flesh is orange, acidic, and contains a few seeds. |
