Centennial Kumquat - great potted plant!

Wow! What a flavor!
This is Centennial variegated kumquat in a pot. It bloomed all summer and bore these golf ball sized fruits which began to turn color in maybe December. Tried one then and they were quite tart, but OK skin.
Tried one again now in May (there were still a few holding on) and wow! Really sweet throughout.
A really nice potted ornamental. I'd have this in my yard if I lived way south. Have to settle for a potted plant here.
