=== Varieties === The ''Nordmann seedless'' is a seedless cultivar of the Nagami kumquat (''[[Citrus margarita]]''). It is similar to Nagami but with a slightly different shape and lighter skin.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nordmann Seedless |url=https://citrusvariety.ucr.edu/crc4070 |access-date=9 January 2024 |website=Givaudan Citrus Variety Collection at UCR |language=en}}</ref> The C''entennial Variegated'' is another cultivar of the Nagami kumquat. It originated from the open pollination of a Nagami kumquat tree. The fruits are striped light green and yellow when underripe, and turn orange and lose their stripes when they ripen. They are oval-shaped, necked, 2.5 inches long and have a smooth rind. They mature in winter.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kumquats / Citrus Pages |url=http://citruspages.free.fr/kumquats.php#centennial |access-date=9 January 2024 |website=citruspages.free.fr}}</ref> This [[cultivar]] arose [[mutation|spontaneously]] from the oval kumquat (''[[Citrus margarita]]''). It produces a greater proportion of fruit to peel than the oval kumquat, and the fruit are rounder and sometimes necked. Fruit are distinguishable by their variegation in color, exhibiting bright green and yellow stripes,<ref name="Purdue" /> and by its lack of thorns. The ''Puchimaru kumquat'' is a seedless or virtually seedless Japanese kumquat cultivar. It is resistant to citrus canker and citrus scab. The fruit weighs 11β20 grams and is ellipsoid in shape. It has a dark orange rind which is 4 millimeters thick. The juice content is relatively low. The oil glands are somewhat large and conspicuous. It ripens in January.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Yoshida |first1=Toshio |last2=Nesumi |first2=H. |last3=Yoshioka |first3=T. |last4=Ieki |first4=H. |last5=Ito |first5=Y. |last6=Nakano |first6=M. |last7=Ueno |first7=I. |last8=Yamada |first8=Yoshio |last9=Murase |first9=S. |date=2003 |title=New kumquat cultivar 'Puchimaru' |last10=Takishita |first10=F. |url = https://repository.naro.go.jp/record/1693/files/nifs_report_No2p9-16p.pdf|s2cid=140658196}}</ref>
