Variety description
10 August 2026
Citrus hindsii is a slow-growing, heavily thorny evergreen shrub with small elliptical dark green leaves. The species is considered one of the most primitive ancestral citrus species and is found in the wild in South China.
The fruits of this species are the smallest among all citrus fruits. They have a nearly spherical shape and a bright orange edible peel. Due to the small amount of acidic and bitter pulp, as well as large seeds, the fruits have no industrial value, although they remain on the branches for a long time and ripen between January and March.
