Procimequat

A citrus curiosity with flavor that punches above its size—perfect for patio pots, small gardens, or a well-earned sip in the shade.

The 'Procimequat' is a rare and fascinating citrus hybrid, born from the botanical marriage of a Eustis limequat (Citrus × Fortunella japonica × Citrus aurantiifolia) and the Hong Kong kumquat (Fortunella hindsii). The result is a precocious, compact plant that combines the zesty lime tang of its lineage with the tiny, ornamental charm of wild kumquats.

The fruit—small, bright orange, and marble-sized—ripens abundantly on even the youngest of plants. Its thin, edible rind and aromatic, tart juice make it a favorite not only for culinary adventurers but also for anyone seeking the perfect citrus garnish for cocktails, marinades, or even a bottle of cold cerveza.

A naturally dwarf plant, the Procimequat is ideal for containers, small gardens, patios, and sunny kitchen courtyards. It flowers and fruits prolifically, often within its first year or two, and can be kept easily at 2–4 feet tall with minimal pruning. The fragrant white flowers, attractive foliage, and heavy fruiting make it a joy to grow—even in tight spaces.
