Narrative
'Centennial' was named in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the USHRL. When grown in containers on trifoliate, 'Centennial' is a small, shrubby tree with dense, thornless, short-internoded branches. Leaves are elongate-ovate with a generally tri-colored variegation. Fruit are also variegated but in a different pattern, apparently with characteristics similar to 'Nagami' in other regards. It is possibly suitable for marmalade. Suggested use of 'Centennial' is as an ornamental. (summarized from Release Notice dated 07/22/1993 and from published release notice in HortSci, 28:236, 1993).

Pedigree
Description:
'Centennial' resulted from a spontaneous variegated mutation observed (by HC Barrett) in 1986 on a small twig of US 1515, an un-named breeding selection. US 1515 originated from open-pollinated seed of 'Nagami' kumquat planted at the AH Whitmore Foundation Farm, Leesburg, FL in 1975. It was propagated onto trifoliate and maintained in greenhouses of the US Horticultural Research Laboratory in Orlando.
