Know before you buy
While it is container-friendly, this tree requires full sun to thrive. If you live outside of USDA zones 9-10, you should keep it in a sunny indoor spot or a greenhouse during the winter months.
Because this is a grafted plant, it is specifically selected to fruit faster than trees grown from seed. You can generally expect it to flower in the summer and produce a harvest by the holiday season.
The Nagami Kumquat prefers a moderate watering cycle. It is important to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings, as this stress actually helps encourage the tree to bloom and set fruit.
When grown in a container, this tree typically reaches a mature height of 2 to 4 feet. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for a patio or a sunny indoor space.
No special preparation is required. The Nagami Kumquat is unique because the skin is sweet and the flesh is tart, making the entire fruit edible right off the branch.
