As its name suggests, the Giant Kumquat presents properties very similar to those of the Fortunella Margarita, but with much larger fruits. Popular for indoor and outdoor decoration, its fruits are also excellent to eat, with a slightly sour, but at times sweet and vanilla flavour. They are golden yellow in colour, although they turn bright orange when ripe.
