The price for healthiest and most productive tree once again goes to the kumquat. πŸ˜‘

However, I have figured out a use for these fruit!

After removing the seeds they can be thoroughly blended and used as an intensely orange flavored additive to lime margaritas. The orange flavor of kumquats is stronger than the orange flavor of oranges, in my opinion. So now I feel like I can value this plant a little bit more, LOL. She does deserve it after all! πŸ€—
