Citrus floridana hybrid 'Tavares' is a stunning fusion of the key lime and kumquat, combining both the tantalizing tartness and the brave resilience of these parent plants. Known as the Tavares Limequat, this exceptional tree brings an exotic charm to any landscape, rising to a grand height of 10-12 feet and fanning out across a 6-8 foot radius.

The star of the show, however, are the small, oval limequat fruits.

With moderate water usage and exceptional frost tolerance, this remarkable citrus tree is as practical as it is beautiful, lending itself to both fruitful harvests and mesmerizing garden aesthetics.
