Brain says... Variegated calamondin (calamansi) and cumquat (probably a fortunella japonica (but not 100% sure)) is available from Bunnings. I've also seen plenty of variegated calamodin from various other nursery as well. The name calamodin/kumquat is a bit deceptive as different nursery uses these names to describe different plants. There is this guy in UK and this link contains his collection of variegated citrus, worth a look to get some ideas. http://www.homecitrusgrowers.co.uk/citrusvarieties/variegatedcitrus.html I do have a vareigated calamodin and will look to get the kumquat version as well. To be honest, I've read that vareigated versions are not as productive as the full green versions and so if you are after fruit production, best stick to the 'boring' versions. Cheers. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 24th October 2012 12:13pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... Olea nursery has the pink variegated eureka lemon on their list of product. http://www.oleanurseries.com.au/comm_product_display.php?plant_id=291&search_id=73&page=6 so it is available in Australia. The question is, any retail nursery who sells it? Maybe Daley can source some trees and on sell to us? | About the Author Brain Brisbane 28th October 2012 2:12am #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Pauline says... Mary, I could be. It was a freebie hidden down the back of a large nursery and I was just told it was the round type of cumquat, but after googling it seems they are tight to the skin. I do have one of the proper ones too, I candied those fruits whole. The other tree the fruit just didn't want to stay whole, so marmalade it is. Julie I would LOVE a recipe if you have one. Thank you. | About the Author Pauline Adelaide 29th October 2012 7:08pm #UserID: 1532 Posts: 293 View All Pauline's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... Not Golden Wattle, but 1970 Women's Weekly cookbook. Cumquat marmalade 3lb cumquats 6 pints water 2 1/2 lb sugar juice 2 lemons Slice fruit finely (lazy me - put through food processor). Keep seeds aside in dish. Cover fruit with 5 pints of water, cover seeds with remaining water, leave overnight. Boil fruit and liquid with strained liquid from seeds until rind is tender and liquid reduced by half. Add sugar and lemon juice, stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved, then boil rapidly for up to 1 1/2 hours, or until marmalade sets when tested on cold saucer. Pour into hot sterilised jars, seal. I think I cook it about an hour, then add a litle Jamsetta. Jam and marmalade cooked too long loses some 'fruity' flavour. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 30th October 2012 8:44pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Pauline says... http://chezpim.com/bake/candied-kumquat That is the one I went by. I struggled to get them to stay under the fluid though. :-) | About the Author Pauline Adelaide 1st November 2012 7:09pm #UserID: 1532 Posts: 293 View All Pauline's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I looked at several recipes online, but can't remember which one I used. Whichever it was, I feel the fruit had too short a cooking time. Much too 'chewy' and a bit tough. When making marmalade, once you add the sugar, the fruit will not get any softer, so has to be well-cooked first. I think the same applies to candied citrus, IMO. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 2nd November 2012 9:42pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |
