Citrus ‘Sunquat’ (Citrus hybrid)

Yes, the Sunquat is unique because the entire fruit, including the peel, is edible. It offers a distinct flavor profile that balances the sweetness of a kumquat with the zesty notes of a lemon.

The Sunquat is well-suited for indoor gardening and typically reaches a mature height of 1 to 3 feet. Its upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or sunny windowsills.

This plant requires full, direct sun to thrive and produce its fragrant, year-round blossoms. If you are growing it indoors, place it in your sunniest south-facing window or use a supplemental grow light.

Grafting is a horticultural technique that allows the plant to mature much faster than one grown from seed. This means you can expect to see blooms and fruit on your Sunquat significantly sooner.

We recommend using a clay or terracotta pot for your Sunquat. These materials are porous, which helps regulate soil moisture and promotes the healthy root development necessary for citrus plants.

The Sunquat should be kept in an environment that stays above 50°F. If you keep your plant outdoors during the warmer months, be sure to bring it inside before temperatures drop below this threshold.
