Kumquats, also called kinkan, are the fruits that are produced from small evergreen trees that grow to a height of approximately 10 feet.
Although many kumquat trees are grown for their sweet, edible fruits, they are also used as ornamental plants because of their attractive, shiny leaves and delicate white flowers that bloom in the summer.
