Happy and Healthy 

2018

I paid £5.00 for this tree in a January 2018 sale from a very large exotic plant wholesaler. 

I bought this and the"Citrus Kucle" at the same time.  £10.00 for both to clear their stock.

Here it is below in October 2018

Note:

It is believed to be a cross between Citrus reticulata (mandarin) and Fortunella japonica (kumquat). The "X" preceding the genus name indicates that this hybrid is between plants of different genuses (bi-generic hybrid)
