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 MoreMarumi Kumquats for up north.
Comments (30)Socalnolypia, I have Thomasville Citrangequat is a Kumquat hybrid as well, and I know for sure it has no problem growing in Atlanta outside unprotected when it has matured enough, of course in a ideal spot against the south or east wall of the house. If we talked about Kumquat hybrid between the 2 slighty hardy citrus, the off springs were usually less cold hardy compared to their parents! Atlanta winters have been pretty warm and stable for the previous 34 years. https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/GA/Atlanta/extreme-annual-atlanta-low-temperature.php Here is Dallas - Lowest Temperature for Each Year https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/TX/Dallas/extreme-annual-dallas-low-temperature.php By comparing the 2 reports from Atlanta and Dallas, we can see that in the last 10 years the lowest temperatures in 2 states were not much different. Dallas was not always warmer than Atlanta. By the year of 2011, 2013, 2016, Atlanta was warmer than Dallas and by 2017 both were tied at 15F in lowest winter temperature records....See MoreHow small can you realistically keep container citrus?
Comments (10)Thanks for the replies. I have one (tiny) Calamondin so far and I like it, but was hoping to pair it with a different sort of citrus, hence why I considered the lemon. But now I will also consider the kumquat. Any other good contenders I should consider? Kaffir lime? Also, I will be putting all of them out on the patio during the summer, so they'll get a little extra sunlight then, but that's only like ~5 months out of the year at best. The rest of the time they'll pretty much have to live on the windowsill. Thanks again....See MoreCitrus trees June, 2021, let's see them please!
Comments (40)Steve, such a nice set up you have there and I will bet you don't mind fall coming at all knowing they are safe)_ Jan , thanks )) Funny how many things we have in common. Lol. It's amazing actually. I used vinyl on mines so roots can not break through . Ther is also an imperviable liner you can use to prevent that. That has been together for almost 10 years and never a problem. I never have to clean it too. Just a net to catch debris once in a while and a good filter, that is it...I love it MY fish know me well and come to the surface when I speak to them and hover at the top until I had feed them. My frog jumps on too a lily pad once I go back there and sings to me. Eats out of my hand. It's a riot. It talks to me. The neighbors, I hear you..lol I planted trumpet vine years back and it comes up every where and I noticed 5 houses done there too..lol It is very peaceful hearing the sounds of water back there and the sounds of birds. Smells so good since 90 percent of what I planted is fragrant. As lon as you keep the bottom of the pond pebble free or gravel free, so easy to keep clean. I have just a few bigger stones in there so that sweeping a net at the bottom is so easy. Many hugs to you too. Glad you like my citrus tree. I LOVE the color yellows on it. I love that bright yellow branch. You know when your trees are happy when brighter colors have no brown spots on them)) Hugs again and boy, I wonder where Brian is? I hope he is ok....See Moreponcirusguy6b452xx
