Kumquat fruit
Kumquats, also called kinkan, are the fruits that are produced from small evergreen trees that grow to a height of approximately 10 feet. These trees are also known as kumquats. Although kumquat trees are native to some places in Asia specifically in China and Indochina — they are also cultivated in Japan and in the United States, in warmer states such as California and Florida. Although many kumquat trees are grown for their sweet, edible fruits, they are also used as ornamental plants because of their attractive, shiny leaves and delicate white flowers that bloom in the summer. Cut branches of the kumquat tree are used in certain regions as Christmas decorations. Because of the diversity of their use, these trees are grown at home.
