Limequats, first bred back in 1909, fortunately proved to be like a more cold tolerant version of the Key Lime.

Unhappily a fully mature Key Lime tree, even at six-feet tall, will freeze to the ground at 32ºF & won't come back afterwards.

But a Limequat, mentioned earlier on, is a hybrid of the Key Lime & the Kumquat & is cold tolerant down into the low- to mid-20s, whoopee!

A small Limequat tree, even in a 5-gallon container, can be very productive once established. I use the juice to make limeade or to add to iced- or hot tea.

I picked my largest fruit which were starting to show some yellow. They are continuing to ripen on the kitchen table and 2 days later are almost all yellow now.

I guess for the other, green ones I will just leave them on the tree 'til they're mostly yellow before picking them.

My Limequat is the 'Eustis' cultivar (not 'Lakeland') in a 2 gallon pot & only 18-inches tall, but has at least a dozen and a half fruit set on it right now, plus it's in bloom again!

OK — Hope this is helpful for the OP in Muncie.

Cheers!

Who's hoping his Double Mahoi banana will fruit earlier this year before the cool temps in November set in & stops the fruit from finishing their ripening process.
