Fukushu Kumquat

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.

 
Fresh is better, grow your own. A dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon 28" tall in Italian pot. Pot and tree are separate items. We have a huge selection of Sub-tropical fruit trees. Take your self back to that relaxing trip in the tropics with fresh fruit from a Guava tree.  We can ship our trees ready to harvest. Large trees have a lot of tasty fruit.
