Kumquat 'Nagami' / 'Fukushi'

A delicious orange-like fruit, 4 cm long, oval or round (depending on the variety) and an edible orange or yellow skin (for Fukushi). The skin is sweet to pleasantly tart and the fruit a little more tart. The plants have a strong growth vigor, only flowering at high temperatures. But... the plant can withstand much lower temperatures than most Citrus fruits, enduring -10°C. What is special (in addition to the well-known high amount of Vitamin C) is that the fruits also contain a lot of potassium and copper.
