When my Meiwa Kumquat died it had fruit on it so I planted the seeds from them so my Meiwa Kumquat would live on.

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.

Kumquats are a lot of fun in containers. On mine the branches are falling over due to the weight of the fruit. It just had another flush of blooms recently. It will likely come inside the house in a few weeks.

All four of my seed grown Meiwa kumquat trees. Largest of my seed grown Meiwa kumquats. -------------------------------------------------------------- Fruitiest of my seed grown Meiwa kumquat. She put on 30 fruit this year and 2 last year. The fruits last year were ripe and low on flavor. A half ripe fruit this year tasted good. Better fruits grow on older trees. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meiwa kumquat second largest of the 4 and the only other one to develop a ripening kumquat What started this spring as #2 fell to #4 in size. This is the only one that has not had a fruit set yet Steve

3 out of 4 of my first set of Meiwa seedling produced flower within the firs 1.75 years and all flowered by 2.5 years. 3 out of 4 set fruit with in the firs 2.75 years. 1 set and produced 2 kumquats i 1 yea 8 months and produced another 30 fruit that were picked in 3 years +/- 2 months. Lots of light, heat, and, feed year around should get you fruit in 5 years. 2. 5 years from seed sprout\ sweet lee tangerine tree The other tangerine tree Steve

do kumquat seeds all grow to be true kumquat trees?

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.

Hi Tim, I am also one of the frequent viewers of your channel. I love the videos, great info on growing, propagation, care for plants. The volume is OK on my devices. I also have kumquat ( Meiwa ) seedlings. Will take a pic tomorrow. They grow so slow. Only Steve can grow them with supersonic speeds :))
