The Story Behind It

The Nippon Orangequat was developed in 1932 as a hybrid between a Satsuma mandarin and a Meiwa kumquat. The goal was simple: combine the sweetness and juiciness of mandarins with the edible-skin convenience and cold tolerance of kumquats.

The result was a remarkable citrus that thrives in cooler regions, produces abundant fruit, and offers a truly unique flavor. Loved by citrus collectors and home gardeners alike, the Nippon Orangequat has carved out a reputation as one of the most enjoyable citrus hybrids you can grow.
