Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Kumquats are a favorite citrus fruit among people of all ages. Their thin outer skin is sweet and their inner pulp is surprisingly tart. Kumquats are meant to be eaten skin-and-all, so in combination, the taste is a distinctive flavor. The fruit of the 'Nagami' kumquat is oval and about 1 1/4" long x 1" diameter. Our grafted plants, shipped in 4" pots, will give you a jump on flowering and fruiting. Within one year, they will flower in the summer and set fruit just in time for the holidays. At Logee's our kumquat tree has taken its permanent residence in our greenhouses for over 100 years. As with all citrus, keep the roots healthy by drying out between waterings and give full light and moderate amounts of fertilizer for steady growth.
