Citrus obovata, the Jiangsu or Fukushu kumquat, is a small citrus-family shrub or tree grown for its fruit. It is best cultivated like other kumquats: in full sun with good drainage and protection from hard frost.
Citrus obovata, the Jiangsu kumquat or Fukushu kumquat, is a species of kumquat; a type of citrus fruit in the genus Citrus, family Rutaceae. It was first described by the French biologist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque in 1838.
It was described by Tanaka in 1927 as a new species as well as a synonym of Citrus japonica. However, recent phylogenetic analysis suggested that C. obovata should be classified as natural or horticultural hybrids. Today, C. obovata is ranked a 'true' species.
