The variegated kumquat is a unique citrus tree known for its ornamental appeal and small, edible fruit. Its distinctive foliage features green and creamy-white striped leaves, making it an attractive addition to gardens. The fruit has a similar striped pattern when unripe, turning golden-orange when mature. With a sweet, tangy taste, kumquats can be eaten whole, peel included, and are often used in marmalades, salads, or as a garnish.
