Comments: -

It is has grown reasonably well and is covered in delicious fruit right now. Leaves are pale green in new growth so am trying to get it more established and healthy.

I intend to espalier/fan train the tree after fruiting.

Kumquat - Meiwa

Kumquat - Meiwa (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: - I think it's a Meiwa, but It could be a calamondin (or something else completely). I'm only going off the round shape of the fruit. Gets attacked by caterpillers every season, which does a bit of damage. Plenty of flowers and small green fruit, but most are eaten by birds or blown off (the wind really is this plant's nemesis) leaving a harvest of generally between 15-60 fruit. fruit are decent size, varying between slightly smaller than a Nagami to double/triple the size. the rind/pith is quite bitter, but the fruits are great in marmalade or stored in alcohol. They do contain viable seeds, and they ripen throughout the year (which is strange because they only flower once a season). I rarely trim the plant, but when I do, it quickly regrows to its former size where it then stays.

Dwarf Kumquat Calamondin ^1/10

Comments: -

We love Calamansi.  We use it as cold or hot drink very refreshing.  We also use it as food seasoning sometimes add a bit of soy sauce.  I have 4x of this dwarf Calamondin.  I am happy when I purchased from Daley's it had fruits already.  Now this spring it flowered again.  Just waiting when they are ready for picking.

I like how well the fruit keeps on this tree. I could have harvested all the fruit at once in June. Instead, I alternate between this and my other kumquat and munch on a fruit every other day.

Hardy and delicious

Affected a lot by scale. Looks pretty but has extremely tart fruit. I prefer other varieties like Nagami to eat. I think I will pull it out and try another type.
