A large fruit tree if grown at a suitable Zone, I found this tree while picking strawberries with my sister at a farm near Beaufort, NC . The tree, pruned to accommodate a large pot was loaded with fruit, tiny oval oranges as if decorated with lights. A lovely addition to my Glasshouse/ citrus collection and a new preserve to try with whole the fruit, skin and all which is known for a tangy sweet flavor.
