Description

The Fukushu Kumquat stands out with its large, pear-shaped fruit and exceptionally sweet, edible skin. A vigorous and productive variety, it offers a more substantial snack with a milder flavor profile, making it a fantastic choice for those who prefer less tartness and for use in culinary creations.

• Produces unusually large, round to pear-shaped fruit with a smooth, deep orange rind.

• Known for its exceptionally sweet and mild-flavored peel and a less acidic, juicy pulp, resulting in a more uniformly sweet eating experience.

• A vigorous, self-pollinating, and compact evergreen shrub with larger-than-average glossy leaves and some thorns.

• Heavy bearer of sizable fruit, making it a great choice for both abundant fresh eating and processing.

• Fruits ripen in winter and hold well on the tree, extending the harvest window.

• Excellent for fresh eating, slicing, and using in recipes where a sweeter, less pungent kumquat flavor is desired.

Flavor Profile:

• Flavor: Sweet and mild overall, with the peel being particularly sugary and the pulp offering only a hint of tartness.

• Texture: Juicy with a tender rind. The larger size provides more flesh.

• Best Uses: Ideal for those who find other kumquats too tart. Perfect for eating out of hand, slicing into fruit salads or desserts, and for making sweeter preserves and syrups.
