Procimequat
Procimequat
Pickup currently unavailable at Aiken Nursery
The procimequat is a rare and fascinating citrus hybrid, born from a botanical marriage of the Eustis limequat (itself a cross of kumquat and lime) and the Hong Kong kumquat (Fortunella hindsii). The result is a precocious, compact plant that combines the zesty lime tang of the limequat parent with the tiny, ornamental charm of the wild kumquats, all on a frame small enough for a patio pot.
The fruit is small, bright orange, and marble-sized, ripening abundantly on even the youngest plants. The thin rind is edible and the aromatic juice pleasantly tart, which makes the procimequat a favorite of culinary adventurers and a natural citrus garnish for cocktails, marinades, or a cold cerveza on a hot afternoon.
A naturally dwarf citrus, the procimequat is ideal for containers, small gardens, patios, and sunny kitchen courtyards. The plant flowers and fruits prolifically, often within the first year or two, and stays easily at two to four feet with minimal pruning. Fragrant white flowers, attractive foliage, and heavy fruiting make the plant a joy to grow even in tight spaces.
Grow the procimequat in full sun and sharp, acid, well-drained soil, in the ground through zones 8 to 10 or in a large container that can shelter under cover from hard frost farther north. Keep a plant near the kitchen door for fruit and fragrance close at hand, and water steadily through the growing season while never letting the roots stand wet.

From rooting to shipping, our top priority is ensuring you receive healthy, thriving plants for your garden’s success.
Because most of our plants are grown from rooted cuttings — alongside seed, air layering, and grafting chosen for each variety — you receive a stronger, true-to-type plant that establishes quickly in your garden.
Raised on organic soil blends and eco-friendly pest management — never harsh chemicals — your plant arrives healthy for your garden, your family, and the pollinators they feed.
Every purchase gives back. We donate to the Aiken Arboretum and support local wildlife conservation, so growing your garden helps protect the wider ecosystem too.
All our plant material is carefully propagated, grown, and nurtured at our humble nursery in Aiken, South Carolina.
Your plant arrives carefully packed and ready to settle in. Unpack them promptly, give them a day or two to acclimate, then plant following the notes we include — that’s all it takes. Clear care guidance comes with every order, so success is the easy part.
What to expect upon delivery
All our plants are sold in 1-gallon sizes, though the height of each plant can vary depending on its growth rate and seasonality, typically ranging from 1/2 to 2.5 feet.
Each plant is carefully packaged with its roots enclosed in a secure plastic bag containing moist soil, forming a compact root ball. To ensure safe transport, the box is padded with recycled newspaper, providing both stability and eco-friendly protection from weather during shipping.
