Tavares, after this variety was named, being the town adjoining Eustis, between which two cities lies Mr. Frank W. Savage’s orange grove, where this and all the other limequats were produced. The fruits are very similar to those of the Eustis limequat in appearance and have much the same flavor. It is often difficult to distinguish the fruits of these two varieties, the Tavares and the Eustis. On the whole the Eustis seems to be rather better in quality than the Tavares. The two can easily be distinguished by the fact that the flower buds of the Eustis are pure white while those of the Tavares have a pinkish coloration, like those of the West Indian lime. Fruit obovate or oval, occasionally nearly to spherical. 1 3/4 inches long, 1 1/4 inches in diameter; light cadmium yellow; rind very thin, smooth, tender, edible, averaging 1 1/16 inch in thickness, mild flavor, stronger and tougher than kumquat and other limequats; segments 7 to 8, segment walls thin; seeds large, 6 to 11, usually 8 or 9; pulp mustard yellow, resembling lime; juicy, sharply acid; leaves evergreen, unifoliate, lanceolate; petioles very narrowly winged; tree vigorous with short spines on bearing wood; flower buds pink.
