| Description: Eustis, Lakeland, and Tavares. Their importance is approximately in that order. All are characterized by fruits that closely resemble the West Indian lime in size, form, and composition and hence are reasonably acceptable substitutes. Eustis and Lakeland also closely approach the West Indian lime in colour. Tavares, however, exhibits some of the orange coloration characteristic of the kumquat and the pink coloration of the flower buds which occurs in the West Indian lime. All of the limequat are more cold-resistant than the lime parent but considerably less so than the kumquat. 1909 | ||

| Description: Kumquat-Tangerine Hybrid. This hybrid came from a Nagami tree; the pollen parent is suspected to be Dancy mandarin. This cultivar produces profuse numbers of a very attractive, necked fruit which is light to medium orange coloured the shape of a Minneola tangelo, and about three times the size of Nagami kumquat fruits. It is probably too tart for most palates, but seems somewhat less tart than its Nagami parent. 1972 | ||

| Description: Distinguished by their rounded versus oval shape and their sweetness. Often simply referred to as the sweet kumquat. Meiwa kumquats are entirely edible, rind, flesh and the occasional soft seeds. Meiwa kumquats have a thick, smooth oily peel with aromatic citron fragrances and sweet flavour. Flesh is not overly juicy but still very flavourful and bit tart. Only by eating both the skin and flesh will its perfect sweet-tart flavour balance be experienced. Harvest late winter through early spring. Meiwa in its native Chinese language translates to "golden orange". 1924 | ||
