World of CitrusTavares Limequat
The Tavares selection arose from the limequat cross series made in June 1909 in Frank W. Savage’s citrus grove at Eustis, Florida. The 1923 article later identifies CPB 48792 as Tavares.
The limequat breeding work was carried out in Savage's grove between Eustis and Tavares, Florida.

The 1923 article names selection CPB 48792 the Tavares limequat, for the town adjoining Eustis; it places Frank W. Savage’s grove between the two towns. This records the documented 1923 naming account, not a claim that no earlier usage existed.
Walter T. Swingle coauthored the 1923 article that names CPB 48792 the Tavares limequat. This credit records participation in that published naming account; it does not establish that Swingle alone coined the name or released the cultivar.
