What is "citrangequat"

n. A trigenic hybrid cross of two types of orange and a kumquat

The citrangequat is a trigeneric citrus hybrid of a citrange and a kumquat, developed by Dr. Walter Swingle at Eustis, Florida, in 1909. 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
