Meiwa Kumquat, all buds dying, but tree doing well, what's going
Comments (4)Kumquats can alternate bear, so when it was in the ground, probably nothing was wrong. Doubtful you had "bad soil", just needing to be fertilized, and watering needed to be adjusted properly (not too much, not too little). The potting medium you're using is most likely much too dense, retaining too much water, and, if allowed to dry out, becoming hydrophobic (won't absorb water, just runs through the container). So, watch for that. And, it may take a year or so for your poor tree to recover from all the transplant shock, so give it some time if you plan to keep it in a container. Water appropriately, fertilize frequently, but be sure to, on occasion, flush out the container to remove built up salts (to prevent burning).

Comments (12)well, I think the tree that I have been taking the fruit from is Meiwa (neighbors).. small oblong or round fruit, lg ones almost the size of a quarter but rarer.. ususlly a lg black olive to a nickel size. I think the taste can be described as.. texture of a peach, but taste of a sweet ripe orange, wash off and pop the whole thing in your mouth (I only eat one at a time).. tip: chew slowly until you get the seeds out, and eat the skin.. don't chomp down on it (them).. the seeds are many and large, but worth the effort to remove......See MoreSurvey: Fukusho or Meiwa kumquat...which do you like better?
Comments (10)I chose my fruit trees for fruit that is neither sweet of sour. My favorite Apple is the Arkansas Blacking. Not sweet, not tart, but packed with flavors that I have no words but that I like them. I had a mill sweet lemon. Same as above. I now have a New Zealand lemonade tree from pip that should fill the plate very nicely. I have 14 seed grown red haven peach trees. I like to pick the peaches when they have color but are hard. Nothing beets a crisp crunchy mildly sweet free stone peach. My hardy Chicago fig has been a real success beyond my wildest expectations. They taste very good with their mildly sweet flavor. I don't eat snickers or any other candy or pop. the juice of the lemon will dissolve the enamel off your teeth faster than a snickers bar will. Here on the garden web's snickers forum every one seems to be buying the trees that produce the sweetest mandarins/oranges or the most acid lemons/lines. My portfolio is complete with 2 Fukushu, 1 Meiwa, 2 New Zealand lemonade, and 9 Hardy Chicago fruit trees. Tine to lean back and kick up my feet. The fukushu fruits can be squeezed for baking Fukushu meringue pies and the remaining peal and flesh should prove to be mildly sweet....See MoreMeiwa kumquat with fruits
Comments (9)Thanks Halyna! They look bigger only because my tree is very small :) I bought it 1.5 year ago from Menlo Growers via local nursery. It was not growing at all for 8 months. I was very skeptical since it was very bad even by Meiwa standards. Fortunately, it has been growing ever since little by little. I have just planted it in ground today. I know many people like growing citrus in containers but it is not for me. I decided to plant most of my citrus in ground and Meiwa was my last piece. I have only Meyer and Rangpur in containers now. I also have 9 figs in containers but it is a different story :)...See Moreredneckgirlgreenthumb
