Which type of citrus is this? Small, very sweet, slightly oblong or pear shaped, creamy inside?
Question:Its smaller than an egg, nice orange rind, very thin. I didnt try to eat the rind, but it didnt seem to smell bitter. The inside is pale orange and very sweet tasting with creamy flesh. I didnt notice any of the normal sacs of pulp that you normally get in oranges and lemons, it just seemed creamy to me.
We had one come in at our nursery with no tag, luckily it had some ripe fruit and man it was delicious!! Just trying to figure out what it could be.
My best guess is Meiwa Kumquat. I guess those are supposed to be sweet kumquats, but Ive never had one so I dont know. Someone else mentioned calamondins, but I thought those were sour.
Your best guess???
Answers:
You are probably correct. But eat the skin! That is the best part. I have 3 of the sweet kumquat trees. They are slow growers compared w/ lemons. They also bloom a little later then lemons.
I think that calamndins are sour.
Did it have seeds? Or a pit? What did the leaves look like? I have never heard of a creamy citrus fruit!! :) Could it be a loquat? Look at this http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/plant/loqu...
Creamy middle, orange skin, about the size of a kumquat, but those look more like oranges inside..hmmmm.the quandry...
Good luck!
Sounds exactly like a komquat. That's my guess
