Nagami, Meiwa, Fukushu and Centennial Variegated Kumquat

[@jeff6899]

Fukushu & Meiwa are my favorite kumquat hybrids, followed by Marumi. I actually like the Eustis Limequat more than the Nagami. Cheers from Tempe, AZ :)

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey Jeff! We haven't considered the limequat before. I've seen them for sale and for some reason just assumed it was a small, sour lime. Is there some sweetness to it?

Please provide an update on your variegated kumquat. I'm seeing mixed reviews on KZbin. I'm a bit of a kumquat hobbyist, I'm growing 7 of the 8 kumquat varieties in pots including a Centennial Variegated that I purchased from JFE. I purchased it just to add to my collection but base on some of the KZbin reviews - like your video here in AZ and Supreme Family Garden somewhere in the SE - I wasn't expecting it to be that great, was expecting the variegated to be sour. As it turns out my centennial variegated is sweet and now my favorite of the 7 varieties that I have. This makes me think that either there are different varieties of the variegated kumquat or that the flavor/taste is highly affected by growing conditions. Again, all off mine are in pots, they get a ton of central Texas sun (although the Centennial Variegated (CVK) and Calamondin didn't seem to like full sun as much as my other kumquats strictly based on the way that they looked during the most intense part of the summer) and I feed them JR Peters Citrus, Nelson's Citrus in the soil and Kelp as a foliar during the growing season and Southern AG Chelated Spray as a foliar during the winter. I also allowed the color of my CVK to get very orange before I picked and ate them. I'm probably going to post this same comment on a number of the YT channels that reviewed this variety, but I'd really like to get your experience on flavor/taste, source of your purchase and growing conditions?

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey there Ben. We don't have this nearly as dialed in as you do, but some details. This tree is now in the ground here in the Phoenix, AZ area. It was purchased from a local nursery, so not sure of it's original sourcing. It continues to grow strong and put on solid fruit growth, but the fruit, even fully ripened (solid orange), is still very sour. Of the 4 varieties we grow (all shown here) it is by far the most sour. We fertilize it with aged chicken manure 3x/year and nothing additional as far as nutrition. Our soil is VERY high PH (tested and came in at 8.4). Regular freezing temps on Winter nights, but no hard freezes (at least not regularly). We get very hot and dry during the summer with average temps above 110 and typical humidity is below 25% (many days below 10%). It's planted in full sun. Hope this helps with your research!

[@Ben-lu1zc]

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Very informative, thanks. I do try to keep my pots more toward the acidic side 6.0 ish, - perhaps the culprit. Thanks gain.

[@martinweber3859]

Great video. Besides taste how about the yield of the different varieties?

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Great question Martin. The yield on these trees once they're mature is pretty consistent from one to the next. The Fukushu probably gets the nod though as it's a larger fruit with very consistent fruit set multiple times a year. The Nagami is probably number 2, but the Centennial is pretty close. The Meiwa fruit is so small it takes a lot more fruit to have the same total yield.

[@MrCard031584]

Would a 4x4 raised bed be considered in ground or still just potted?

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Great question Derik. I would consider a raised bed in ground. Especially if the bottom is open. The only caveat to that would be the type of soil you're using and the age of the tree. If it's typical potting soil with a young tree you're going to have more water retention which can be both good and bad. You'll just have to watch the tree to make sure the soil is not too wet or dry (citrus trees need consistent moisture, but too much can be a problem depending on the root stock). If there is no base on the bed the tree will eventually move through the potting soil into the ground and can regulate moisture a little easier. If there is a closed base on the bed then you're dealing with a potted tree.

Hey Dwayne..enjoying the channel. What's the best tasting variety in you and your wife's opinion?

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Glad you're enjoying the channel! Our favorite overall is probably the Meiwa, but the Fukushu is a VERY close second. The nice part about the Fukushu is it's easy to separate the seeds and it tastes about as sweet at the Meiwa. It's also quite a bit larger than the Meiwa.

[@cptnvegetable]

Have you had success grafting the meiwa onto the nagami tree ? Or any varieties together onto one plant ? Thanks !

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey cptnvegatable (great KZbin handle BTW). We don't have any experience with grafting, so haven't tried it. However, I've been told the Meiwa is notoriously hard to graft.

[@tomp2331]

Tell me more about different types of fertilizer you using when your fertilizing and watering not too concerned about color and flavor and taste I want to be a successful grower

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey Thomas. We have a few videos that we've done on our fertilizing schedule and products, but we currently use our own composted pig and/or chicken manure. However, there is a product called BioFlora crumbles that is basically an organic composted chicken manure that we've used in the past with great success. We fertilize on the same schedule as our in ground trees and for us here in AZ that would be February, May and September. These are in pots, so we hand water about 3X/week this time of year. Tapers off drastically during the winter (maybe 1X every week or two). If they were in ground they would be on the same schedule as the rest of our orchard which is on drip with 3, 4gph emitters spread evenly around the drip line of each tree watering 3X/week at about 3 hours each round. Hope this helps!

[@putinhynes3848]

My clementine branch is dying but is putting on new growth. What do I need to do. The tree is 2 years old and in a pot.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

We have the same thing going on with a lime tree right now and my guess is we'll wind up losing it and having to replace it. I'm not an expert in tree disease, but I can say we have had citrus trees randomly either die or lose portions of the tree with no apparent reason. Usually it's an issue with the root stock, but it can be a myriad of things that can cause it. Not enough of a key nutrient in the soil, damage by critters, improper root stock, fungal or bacterial disease, etc. The list is very long.

[@tokyotech]

Was it just your particular Centennial Variegated Kumquat that was sour? I've been reading online and most people say this variety is sweeter than others due it it being a cross between a Nagami kumquat and a mandarin.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey tokyotech. I can't say for sure as this is the first one we've had, but it is by far the most sour. We had another viewer comment that their's was really sour as well. One thing is for sure, the Meiwa was definitely the sweetest of the 4 we have here.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Oh yes, Kumquats do very good in pots. I would suggest getting the largest pot you're able to find and can fit into the space. They grow slowly, but the more space the roots have to spread the better they will be. I believe the pots we had them in were around 20" in diameter at the top.

[@ludanhuang]

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Thank you for the reply. Good to know the pot size needed to get the most healthy growth. I think I may start with a 16'' pot (as I have them on hand) and up-pot to >20'' it when it's time. Another consideration is that in the first couple winters we may need to move it inside the house (zone 8b) for it to be established, so a smaller pot would be more manageable. Thanks again!

Hey there Putin. We have our Kumquats in the ground now and follow the same fertilizing schedule as the rest of our trees, but you have other options with potted trees. If you're using liquid fertilizer we prefer Fish Emulsion (any brand, diluted to the Manufacturer's recommendation) and you would apply that monthly during the growing season. We prefer to use pelletized fertilizer and for that we use BioFlora Crumbles. For this you would fertilize 3x/year during the growing season. In Arizona that would be February, May and September.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey Gary. It sounds like you have very common soil for us here in AZ. Our soil tests put our PH right at 8.4, so very high also. As for lowering the PH, that's going to be VERY difficult if you're not growing in pots. It's one of the many reasons we try to use local root stocks whenever possible as they're designed to thrive in alkaline soil. Most citrus is grown on root stocks that have no issues with our alkaline soil, so you may not need to adjust it at all. If that's not the case, as you're finding we have issues with alkaline water as well. Beyond acidic fertilizers (like the EB Stone you're discussing) I'm not sure what else you can do to lower PH long term. One thing that will help to balance it somewhat is using heavy mulch around your trees and encouraging biologic activity (worms and other bugs will help balance PH). All that being said, are you having issues with your citrus trees? And are they planted in the ground?

@@garyradford9381 root stocks are what all citrus trees are grown on. Nurseries will take a small tree with roots that do well in a certain environment and they will graft a branch onto that tree in order to use the roots to grow that tree. Many citrus trees, especially those that have have been grown here in AZ, are on root stocks that thrive in alkaline soil. Now if you're wanting to keep the potting soil acidic, you'll need to regularly mix acidifying compounds into the soil. The EB Stone acidifying fertilizers are good options. A natural option would also be coffee grounds. If you do this regularly it will keep the soil more neutral, even with alkaline water.

Hey Gary. I think you're overthinking this a bit. We grow all of our citrus trees in the ground here in AZ. Our soil is very high PH (tested at 8.4) and water with natural ground water which is also very high PH. Unless you have root stocks that are designed to handle acidic soil, I would not attempt to lower the PH. Using a standard potting soil and fertilizing 3x/year (Feb, May and Sept) with a standard citrus fertilizer (you can find these at Home Depot) is all you should need to do for your citrus trees.

@@garyradford9381 I should clarify, all citrus trees are grafted onto standard, semi-dwarf or dwarfing root stocks. Those root stocks are what determine whether the tree will do well in acidic or alkaline soil. To my knowledge, most if not all citrus trees sold on the West Coast of the US are on root stocks that tolerate alkaline soils quite well. Especially in AZ where all of our soils are alkaline and we have had a thriving citrus industry for the better part of the last century until orchard lands have been swallowed up by the city. The Arizona's Best citrus tree fertilizer is specifically designed for growing citrus here in the valley and you can usually find that at Home Depot or Lowes. And yes, your citrus trees will be just fine with our alkaline water. It's what all citrus orchards in Arizona have been using for decades.
