It would be interesting to know whether this plant is round Kumquat (Citrus japonica Lour.) or Calamondin, Calamansi (Citrus x microcarpa Bunge). eFlora of Pakistan treats Citrus microcarpa Bunge as synonym of C. madurensis Lour, with fruits 30 x 27 mm. eFlora of China however, treats C. madurensis Lour. as synonym of C. japonica Thunb. (also followed by POWO) but records fruit size 9-10 mm. In our plant fruits are mostly 25 to 40 mm in size. Please help in resolving. The tree is still is fruit, so I can verify any feature.
