The Lakeland Limequat is the result of a cross made by Dr. Walter T. Swingle in 1909 between a Key Lime and a round Kumquat. It can be eaten whole or made into preserves.

The limequat is more cold hardy than a Key Lime, but less than a Kumquat. So, in locations that get frost, you must cold protect.
