This is a tree at my fathers home in Florida. The pictures are not the best but they believe the tree to be a Kumquat. I think it's a Calamondin, but I was wondering if perhaps it was a Meiwa. I have seen the fruit and the rind is sweet with a more sour interior. I'm hoping to get a postive ID for them.

Mark it looks like Calamondin to me. The last pick if the fruit looks just like mine but I was waiting for other opinions.

I'd vote for calamondin, but not guarantee it.

How large are the fruits? Is there much juice in the fruit? Meiwa is mainly lacking juice, but calamondin is very juicy.

Meiwa wouldn't have a sour interior. Hay Mark T I really think that is your tree, I saw the palm in the background.

The fruits are a little smaller than golf ball and if I remember correctly, they are juicy.
