How to Grow Your Own Kumquats 

YES!!!!! The best video I have ever seen, about plants. WHY??? Easy language, well explained, short... excellent teacher. Sir, thank you very much for so much good will in your video. May God bless you abundantly.

I’ve been growing a Kumquat tree for 45 years it’s been in the same pot for more than 10 years. Summer it in full sun in the winter I have it under T5 grow lights in a room that stays at a constant 50 degrees.

Very good information on the Kumquats. I’m trying to find a Miewa Kumquat to add to my garden and your video was quite timely. 😊 Thank you!

Thanks for the video :) I am in Russia and I grow 2 types of kumquats (Margarita and Fukushi) on my kitchen window. My granddaughters just love them :)

Love your video. You have a great stage presence.

Thank you for the video - it was enjoyable listening to you. I love the Meiwa kumquats which I buy in March/April each year from a health food store; 6.99/lb but worth every bite. I'm into my 3rd day trying to germinate the seeds (8 of them) just for fun. Incidentally meiwa comes from 2 Chinese words, "mei" (pronounced "may") which means pretty and "wa" (pronounced "hoowa" - "hoo" is short and subtle with air coming out of mouth when saying it) which means flower. I just went to your site and ordered 2 meiwa and a meyer lemon trees and have added my name to the wish list for the changshou kumquat. How long until the trees bear fruits?

I just bought one of these trees yesterday. Thanks for the info :)

The kumquat that grow from the seeds has a lot of thorns ,but the fruit taste the same from the fruit where I got the seeds.

Hi.. great video. I am sad my kumquat tree is so silent until now. I bought it December last year. It had a lot if fruits on it then, but the leafs were a bit yellowish. I put feeds and water. Now, I cut the leafs and shape the tree, but no signs of life😣. Is there a way to help this lovely tree living in a good size pot in my?? balcony

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I live in Hawaii and buy my plants from you guys. 🤙🏾

Hello! is indoors 19-23 C ok for my plant during winter? Are indoor kumquats different than outdoor kumquats or are they all the same? I have a Nagami. Thank you!

Thank you! A very good video!

Thank you for the help! Ma 2

How do you spell the Chinese variety (that's your favorite)? I really enjoy your videos!

Wow love your tree it’s beautiful 😍 wish I can be your neighbor so I can help you eat those looking delicious kumquats 🤣😂

Great video with accurate information about kumquats👍 Kumquats have always been the love of my life along with other citrus varieties. Keep the good work up sir👍

Question-I have 2 yellow japanese plum trees, is it the same as a kumquat? Can I shorten it? It is 8 ft tall and the branches-total width left to right is 8 ft. How do I prune it? I live on the coast by Galveston, Tx.

hi, my name is Carlos Divas, I live in Guatemala, Central America. one year ago, I went to Louisiana and gat a conteiner of kimquats, I kept the seeds and plant them in my country. They are growing in my farm and is about 2 feet high. My question, is: do you think they will give me the fruit like the original?

Hello I just saw your video. I want to get a kumquat plant but can we grow these on the ground in CT or do it need to be in a pot? I know you in CT too and I’m from New Britain. Thank you

Hello! My kumquat tree is in a pot on a southern facing balcony. When I purchased it in December, it was already fruiting. Since then, It has sprouted 2 new branches, somewhat lower that the top growth. They are above the graft line, so I know they are not suckers, but I wonder if I should remove them. Their leaves are now larger and brighter green than the leaves at the top of the tree, which are smaller, darker, and... harder? For lack of a better word. Are they stealing nutrients from the top? Does that mean I'm not watering enough and water isn't getting all the way up? Should I let them grow, in hopes of getting a fuller and more fruitful tree, or remove them so as to keep the growth to the top? Thanks for your feedback!

I wander if it grows at the altitude of 700 mts in sub tropical weather, in the winter, 3 mouths Jan, Fev and Mar (the lowest temp is at night 8º and max 15º during the day ) the rest of the year we have min 15º min. and max 21º up to 30º, also sometimes hard wind and lots of rain. And thx for the video, great info. cheers.

Thanks for sharing your information..

so nice

Does qumquat like rain, like weather in Hilo Hawaii?

I've been told that apple seeds, for example, do not taste the same as the parent tree. Is this the same case for Kumquats?

I appreciate your kumquat videos. Where can I purchase 3-5 foot kumquat trees?

Skmeone gave a kumquat, if the plant's leaves is light green all around, what should I do? She said the plant was a small green house last winter.

My kumquat tree is healthy as far as growing, but has yielded only one kumquat in the last five years. One year it gave three huge oranges. hardly flowers- any suggestions?

Would it grow in a northern New England climate?

I have kumquat and lemon tree can you tell me if I have to give water every day in the sammer?

I am growing Kumquats indoors in NYC. They flowered in the fall while they were outdoors & the flowers turned into fruit. As soon as I brought it indoors and turned an LED grow light on the bloom setting, they started to push out alot more flowers. I turned the light on bloom because I thought it would help the fruit to ripen, not because I wanted more flowers. Should I prune the new flowers or just not hand pollinate them to prevent them from turning to fruit? I would like as much fully formed fruit as possible but how do I know how many fruits my kumquat trees can support and how many is too much?

cool

Just bought one today. I bought a 24 inch pot for it.

I have had a Fukushu kumquat and it has never come to fruit yet, keeping in a western window over the winter with grow lights as well.I put them outside for the summer but..no flowers or..suggestions please?

Nice 👍

Hello, my I harvested Meiwa kumquats from my one year old tree from logees, but now the leaves are all turning yellow and falling off. I know that it is normal to lose some leaves after fruiting for Meiwas but is it normal for so many leaves to become yellow and fall off? The roots look fine.

I bought one with fruit on it a few years ago.It has never produced flowers or fruit since.What am I doing wrong?

👍

Please do a video on growing mangos in containers thanks

where can I get all this seeds or rather seedlings

Mine are not turning orange

OK...thanks for that. I'll try not to kill this one!!

I bought Nagami tree (about 2 feet high) in a pot about 3 months ago. Tree is doing fine with lots of flowers and fruits in Florida weather. The problem is --- fruit opens up as it ripens to yellow color. What's the reason? How can I prevent it? No one mentions about this problem.

I just bought it online. And has two trees.

can I get kumquat trees from cuttings

Do you sell kumquat plants?

Thankyou Byron. Very informative, and well done video. It was recommended that the Meiwa kumquat will grow well around DanaPoint, Ca. - Southern Coastal California - as opposed to the Nagami variety, which reportedly does better in cooler climates. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. - Kevin

my kumquats never grow. don't know why?

I heard that this kumquat taste very sour

👍
