Kumquat :From seed to fruit in one year?
Comments (55)is the node count of 80-ish similar for Nagami kumquats? I assume as it's about the same size as Meiwa it should be about the same? I know Calamondins and key limes are commonly cited as only taking 3 years, or basically staying as a very small tree when they flower and fruit. I'm really hoping I can get these kumquats to fruit soonbc kumquat trees are soooo expensive, I can get satsumas by getting (possibly contaminated so I quarantine it) budwood from Asian grocery stores, but kumquats are just hard to get :/...See MoreFukushu kumquat #1
Comments (21)My Fukushu is planted near a fence (South side) and it has not gotten any direct sunlight since, probably, Dec, 1-3. I think I will have this problem at least for a month. I am using a 80W LED Growlight bulb to fix the problem. Am I crazy to do it for an outdoor plant for 4-5 hours? Are there any true benefits? Is indirect sunlight enough for a tree for some time during winter months?...See MoreKumquat Fukushu: to bare root & repot in 5.1.1 or not so late?
Comments (16)So I went and fully bare-rooted and re-potted my new Fukushu this Saturday. The event took place immediately after I tried to make some holes in the mix to help with the water flowing and observed that the mix is so compacted that the wood stick could not pass through the mix. How can I water this tree properly with such a dense medium? Denise, I'm in Belgium, and a lot of the citrus trees available on the markets are mainly from Italy. Vladimir, I soaked the root ball for more than 1 hour and it was still very very hard to make the clay go away...it help a lot to loosen the outside layer of mix while the middle part remained hard as rock. So I removed all the fruits, the mix was ready (already at room temperatures), prepared the new pot (from 5L to 11L). The rest is in the pictures: to be continued......See Moretasted my first fukushu kumquat
Comments (3)Thanks for sharing. i have an outside and in ground seed grown Fukushu that has not fruited and a grafted on C35 with flowers but no fruit set. It sounds like I have something to look forward to. Steve...See Morebklyn citrus (zone 7B)
