Orangequat Tree soft fruits Unripe fruit tastes quite bitterOrangequat trees are a citrus hybrid resulting from a cross between a kumquat (Citrus japonica) and an orange (Citrus sinensis). Orangequat fruit is typically larger than kumquats but smaller than oranges. They resemble small oranges or tangerines in appearance, with smooth, bright orange rinds. Orangequat trees produce fruit that have a unique flavour, combing the sweetness and juiciness of oranges with the tartness and slight bitterness of kumquats.
