When I was little, my great uncle lived in Louisiana and had kumquat bushes. He was an avid gardener. I remember being told to go pick kumquats whenever I wanted, they were so good! I live in much colder zone, but I've always considered growing kumquats in pots. You've convinced me.

In Western Australia, Kumquat (also Cumquat) trees fruit prolifically Spring into Summer - Sept to Jan. In the garden and pots, this season's fruit ripened Sept 1. Nagami, the most common, are entirely edible: seeds 'n all. Sweetest at the skin, I often squeeze out some slightly bitter juice. Still juicy, nutritious, antioxidant and high fibre, they're the perfect refreshing snack.

I live in AZ and the heat is awful for my kumquat tree. I have to give it a lot of shade because last year they cooked on the tree. They were mushy and did not get orange. When the temp is 105 to 118 I have to water every evening. I do fertilize the tree and give it fish emotion every 3 weeks. I will be glad when I can actually eat some of the fruit. The tree is in a container.
@margaretmarshall3645 Жыл бұрын
I gather the main flowering season for kumquats is summer, and the main fruiting season is winter. Maybe your tree will pick up on that in time and do better with that pattern!
@markrobinson3902 Жыл бұрын
I live in southern NM and the same thing happened to me. I had two Nagami trees and a Meiwa. The two Nagami died. The sun and the heat fried them. The Meiwa is still alive- just barely. I hope to get it through the winter. I did not mulch my trees last year. I think that would help to keep them cooler and I'll put them in the shade more, so the leave don't get scorched. It's a learning curve I guess.

My kumquat in a pot (zone 9a) got rust last year. I think I over did the Neem oil, so all leaves were damaged. So I cut off all branches, now 3 main stalks remain, roots very healthy. Now I'm constantly cutting off suckers, very green healthy suckers. Nothing is growing above the graft. Any tips?

Any advice on leaf drop? We got a kumquat tree late summer and it was outside until maybe October. The tree still is very green and there are new leaves growing. There’s also a lot of healthy leaves that are falling. Are we just putting too much concern about the leaf drop? I water it once a week but not soaking heavy.
