I know U. R. growing kumquat trees from seed. Pics n story plz
Comments (29)Meiwa to Poncirus several 4 grafts to be made. At the end of the year the grafts will either be successful, or the kumquats will take off on their own roots, or the trees will face winter UNPROTECTED OUTSIDE. I am going to go with the Meyer lemons I received as gifts. They are looking very nice now. Steve...See MoreKumquat from seed?
Comments (7)I too find the "won't grow well on its own roots" thing weird. I see this comment often on sites with Kumquat information. If kumquats would not grow on their own roots, well then there would be NO kumquats. I think this needs to be qualified to "Won't perform as commercial kumquat growers would prefer without grafting" Depending on the soil and climate conditions, yes, grafting can IMPROVE kumquat tree's production in that environment, but I really don't think this has much relevancy to home growers of a tree or two. I personally started about eight trees from seed a year or so ago and they are doing fine....See MoreGrowing Meiwa Kumquats from seeds
Comments (4)Hi Tim, I always enjoy watching your videos. I always have trouble hearing what you are saying even though I have the volume turned up all the way. When you are recording is there something you could set that would increase the volume for those watching? I often listen up close and run a second time and just watch, but it would be better to hear and see at the same time. I don't seem to have the problem with other people's videos. I like your videos as you are always showing how you are experimenting and trying different things like I do. Cory...See More5 one year old seedling Meiwa kumquat trees starting 2018
Comments (44)The fruitless under the can light Meiwa has finished its growth spurt with a total of 44 linear inches of new twigs with fresh leaves. It is now tied for the second biggest of seed grown Meiwa kumquat trees I picked the fruit off the other Meiwa tree at half ripe and the skin was sweet and the flesh was very juicy but not much flavor in sweet or sour. I was afraid a mouse would get it and it was the only fruit from a seed grown tree. I also picked all the much ripper fruit from my grafted meiwa and the fruit was sweet skinned with semi sweet tart flesh. very much worth eating. This will actually be the last entry for this thread from Me and I will continue this discussion in "4 seed grown 2 year old Meiwa kumquat tree for year 2019". I will leave a link to the new thread when I start it. forget what I said above. I did not expect this much change in one of the trees. Steve...See MoreJoppaRich
