Centennial Variegated Kumquat Citrus Tree is a very unique variety discovered as a spontaneous variegated genetic mutation from an unknown breeding project. It is thought to be a cross between a Nagami Kumquat and a mandarin given how incredibly sweet it is. Centennial Variegated Kumquat rivals Meiwa in the sweetness of its fruit. This upright growing citrus tree is very dense, shrubby and incredibly ornamental with its gorgeous variegated foliage and striped immature fruits. Centennial flowers in late spring and ripens fruit mid-winter, though fruit will hang on the tree without spoiling for many months. It is difficult to find a better citrus variety for the home grower than the Centennial Variegated Kumquat. The incredibly ornamental foliage and absolutely delicious fruit make it one of our favorite citrus trees to grow at home. Experimental growers in USDA Zones 8 can add Centennial to the list of cold hardy citrus varieties to experiment with.
