Citrangequat

The citrangequat is a trigeneric citrus hybrid of a citrange and a kumquat, developed by Dr. Walter Swingle at Eustis, Florida, in 1909.[1] Citrangequats are bitter in taste, but are considered edible by some at the peak of their maturity. Three named cultivars exist:

Sinton – 'Nagami' kumquat (Fortunella margarita) X 'Rusk' citrange; named for the city of Sinton, Texas
Telfair – 'Nagami' kumquat X 'Willits' citrange; named for Telfair County, Georgia
Thomasville – most common citrangequat; named for the city of Thomasville, Georgia[2] 'Thomasville' is considered the most cold-hardy edible citrus variety. It can tolerate temperatures down to −15 °C (5 °F).[3]
