Moderately vigorous tree of small size and very productive. Can produce several times a year, adult. Late main flowering (July – August). Very decorative tree always in fruit. Slightly weeping habit.
A good alternative to files for better resistance to cold.
The fruit looks like a large elongated yellow kumquat when ripe. It can also be consumed green. The zest is very aromatic and sweet, close to kumquat. The bark is thin. The pulp is dense, juicy, reminiscent of Mexican lime with spicy notes. Few glitches.
Self-fertile
Instructions for growing in pots (recommended):
Leave the plant outside between May and October but bring it inside between October and the end of April, until the spring frosts are over. Place in a warm place on your land protected from the winds and place in full sun. Enlarge the pot every 2 years as needed depending on growth and add fertilizer of your choice as needed. Can easily withstand a semi-dormant winter period in a cool place between 8° and 14°C... Ex: semi-heated garage. Finally...Remember to acclimatize your plant to the sun in spring by not placing it directly in full sun for the first few days but going there gradually otherwise the leaves will burn in the sun in a few days.
