Fukushu Kumquat, The Perfect Edible Ornamental With Great Taste! For Your Consideration

[@chrisstanford3652]

I have a quite rare “Texas Sunquat”, small, hardy, delicious kumquat hybrid, skins and all😋

[@EdAbleSolutions-qw9zb]

I have read about those. A lemony flavor. Also has been around for quite awhile has just never made it into the retail trade nationally,,, cool enjoy!!

I like the tartness of the Nagami! There a great little snack!!!

[@EdAbleSolutions-qw9zb]

I agree, I had a Nagami in a container for over 45 years. It was productive and always a welcome bite in the dead of winter here in California. Unfortunately when i sold my house last year it was in September and I realized it was rooted in the ground and I was not prepared to take it out of the ground and nurse it with the move and all. I hope the new owners take good care of it

@@EdAbleSolutions-qw9zb I remember in the early years of KZbin seeing your Blueberries in pots videos from your backyard. It inspired me to grow blueberries in pots. Now I have them in the ground though!!! Hahahahaha!!!

@@EBoone-pb8wb I still grow them in pots today. Our Soil and Water are too High PH to Keep the plants healthy without a lot of extra work. But I'm happy to hear your still inspired to grow the Blues 👍

I say START your citrus collection with a kumquat! My Fukushu and Meiwa kumquats are still young and sort of spotty about producing fruit thus far. But when they do have fruits, what bite sized sweet tart juicy flavor bombs! They are more frost hardy (the Nagami in particular) than most citrus. More full of flavor. And since you eat the peel and all, I suspect they may also be the most nutritious! Love mine, here in zone 9A, grown near the south side of my house. But in colder zones, you could easily buy dwarf ones, keep them in a pot and bring them in as needed in winter. Or semi-dwarf, and just pruned to be content in a pot.

We have the same problem with water here in Modesto, too high for the blues. The potted blueberry is so much easier
