Citrus japonica ‘Nagami’ (Nagami Kumquat) is an attractive evergreen citrus plant valued for its glossy dark green foliage, fragrant white flowers and abundant oval orange fruit. Its naturally compact, rounded growth makes it an excellent choice for courtyards, edible gardens, sunny patios, large containers and smaller residential landscapes.
The small fruit has a sweet, aromatic rind surrounding pleasantly tart flesh and can be eaten whole straight from the tree. It is also ideal for marmalades, preserves, desserts and refreshing drinks. Combining ornamental beauty with a useful home harvest, Nagami Kumquat is a rewarding choice for customers seeking a productive fruit tree that remains manageable and visually appealing throughout the year.
