Rare Citrus Hybrid That Produces Fruit Year-Round
The Thomasville Citrangequat represents a breakthrough in home citrus growing, blending orange hardiness with premium citrus flavor. This exceptional hybrid produces abundant small fruits featuring a delightfully thin, sweet-eating skin paired with tangy, aromatic flesh inside. Unlike standard citrus, you can enjoy the entire fruit fresh off the tree, making it perfect for snacking, cooking, or creative culinary applications. The tree itself is a garden showstopper with dense, glossy green foliage and highly fragrant white flowers that bloom prolifically. Remarkably cold-hardy compared to traditional citrus varieties, the Thomasville adapts beautifully to container growing or in-ground planting across diverse climates. It’s an excellent choice for gardeners seeking something truly unique—a conversation-starting tree that delivers both ornamental beauty and consistent harvests. Thriving best in southern climates, this versatile performer brings exotic fruit production within reach.
Pollination Info
Thomasville Citrangequat Trees are self-pollinating. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Thomasville Citrangequat Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location in full sun (typically up to 6 hours of sunlight) for your Thomasville Citrangequat Tree. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and place the tree so the root ball sits slightly above the ground level. Backfill with soil, then water deeply to settle. Apply mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.
If you’re planting in a container, just select a container that’s 1-2″ larger in diameter than the width of your plant’s shipped container.
2. Watering: Water your Thomasville Citrangequat Tree deeply after planting to establish roots. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and increase frequency during hot or dry periods to maintain healthy growth.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your tree in early spring with a citrus-specific, slow-release fertilizer.
4. Pruning: Prune your Thomasville Citrangequat Tree in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Remove any dead or damaged branches, and trim to maintain a compact shape.
