This kumquat tree is a wonderful choice for home growers. While Meiwa Kumquats are rarely found in grocery stores, they are easy to grow at home with bright light and simple care. In summer, the tree produces highly fragrant white flowers, followed by beautiful golden-orange fruit that ripens in winter. Our grafted Meiwa Kumquat Tree will flower and fruit sooner, so you can enjoy harvests faster.
