seed grown meiwa kumquat. BONSAI
Comments (1)Lots of trees have small/sparse roots and if nature hasn't seen fit to trim them in the wild to accommodate that, I don't think you need to worry much. But I might consider a shorter, wider container if you're worried. They look happy enough and I don't believe in messing with success :-)....See More4 seed grown 2 year old Meiwa kumquat trees

Comments (14)Haven't taken any pictures lately, will try and do some soon now that I am back home after another trip out to see my son. But I did harvest some Mexican Sweet Limes yesterday! They certainly have a very distinct aroma, and with just a bit of sugar make a very floral, with a touch of some spice, drink. Just washing the fruit released the skin oils and filled my kitchen! I would hesitate to use any to cook with, the distinctive flavor would overpower the dish, I think. KC On a different note, I haven't been able to upload any photos, but I was able to upload a screenshot of my photo! So some formats are working and some are not! :(...See Moredo kumquat seeds all grow to be true kumquat trees?
Comments (8)It depends what you mean by "true to seed". Unlike many other common citrus varieties (like oranges), all the seeds in a kumquat will result from sexual recombination, and thus will generally not be genetically identical to its fruit parent. That being said, a kumquat grown from a kumquat seed will still be a kumquat, unless of course that kumquat fruit parent had been pollinated by a different citrus variety. In that case, you would get a hybrid....See MoreRelated Professionals

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoA Fukushu kumquat grafted on grapefruit seedling rootstock in 2014 (exactly 2 years ago). Graft point is painted white, the 5 leaves under the graft area are rootstock leaves (in fact the first ever 5 leaves of the rootstock).
This is the first flowering after grafting, and during winter it stayed in a warm room, without cold rest.
Pot is now 5 liter, made from polypropylene non-woven fabric.
Soil is generic potting soil + perlite + cheramzit + earthworms :D.

If you opened this thread, I will add the evolution of my fukushu kumquat grafted on rio red grefruit seedling in 2014.
It is now in 15-20L airpot, with generic potting soil amended with perlite, keramzit and bark. It is in the new location for 2 months, and this week flowered nicely. New little branches grew from the vertical stem (the last watersprout), growth that stopped now (right after full moon).
