The kumquat/cumquat, scientifically called citrus japonica or fortunella japonica, is an evergreen tree that produces golden, orange-like fruits.

The leaves are a shiny dark green and the flowers are white, just like the flowers of other citrus trees.

The tree is usually grown for its fruit or as an ornamental plant. Usually a round kumquat that is hard to cold.

Kumquat does not grow well from seed, but is often propagated vegetatively, for example, by using the base of other citrus fruits, by layering, or by cuttings.
