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 X 'Rusk' citrange; named for the city of Sinton, Texas
• Telfair – 'Nagami' kumquat and 'Willits' citrange; named for Telfair County, Georgia
• Thomasville – most common citrangequat; named for the city of Thomasville, Georgia^[2]
