If nothing else it should make a nice cold hardy ornamental tree. Strange leaves, I like it.

Millet, many people grow citrus for the visual effect & ornamental value. If I grew citrus just for the sweet taste I wouldn't have half the varieties I do.

Description of the taste here: link
Fruit is like unshiu mandarin, but the problem seems, that it is very shy bearer, I know only about few fruits so far, around the world.

It could be either of the two, Willits & Citsuma both make a fruit that resemble that.

I have not seen a Morton that "fingered". Shocked Maybe this was labeled wrong & is actually Willits?
