About the Nagami Kumquat Tree ...

The Nagami Kumquat Tree or Oval Kumquat (Fortunella.margarita) is the most common variety in the United States. It was introduced into Florida from Japan in 1885 and has been grown commercially in the "Kumquat Capitol," Saint Joseph, Florida since 1895.

The Nagami  Kumquat trees can withstand temperatures as low as 28F (Zone 8-11), which make it easily grown in areas that are too cold for most varieties of citrus.

The Nagami Kumquat Tree loads its dense branches with bright orange, delicate tasting oval fruit, appearing nearly year round.  The Nagami Kumquat Trees are very ornamental in containers on patio or indoors in bright light. These trees are evergreen can grow in full to partial sun.   The Nagami Kumquat Trees are slow-growing, upright form to 8 feet tall, 6 feet wide. 'Nagami’ is more oblong than the ‘Meiwa’, more acid in taste, and a brighter orange color. The Nagami Kumquat Trees are used in home and commercial landscaping and are quite cold hardy.

Q. What do you know about the citrus called "Nagami  (Oval) Kumquat"?

A. A long time favorite in China and Japan, this fruit has been in cultivation for perhaps a thousand years. Accounts appear in ancient Chinese manuscripts.

The name kumquat comes from the Chinese, and means "golden orange."

One of the hardiest kinds of citrus, kumquat trees can withstand temperatures as low as 18 degrees Fahrenheit. Grown commercially in Florida and California, they are also treated as yard trees by gardeners in warm climates.

The small, orange, citrus-like fruits are rather elongated. Though the size depends somewhat on the cultivar, they can reach two inches in length. The fruits are borne on small shoots with up to five or so fruits per shoot. Usually, they will ripen during the late fall and winter. These are generally available from November through the spring in supermarkets.

While the skin is very sweet, the tartness of the pulp provides a nice contrast. Some will have several seeds, while others don't. When ripe, kumquats can be eaten out of hand skin and all. They're also added to fruit salads and made into fruit drinks. These are traditionally prepared into preserves as well.

In addition to their culinary uses, kumquats are a great favorite for Christmas decorations. For this, the entire attractive, bright green branches with the vividly colored fruits are used. As if that isn't enough, kumquat trees are often used in citrus breeding programs to create interesting hybrids, such as the limequat that we also sell.

Kumquats are propagated mostly by grafting cuttings onto rootstocks. Because the plants hybridize easily, it is not a good idea to grow these plants from seed.

In addition to their role in fruit gardens, the kumquat tree can fulfill various functions in the landscape. It can be used as a small shade tree, a hedge, or property boundaries. It is also used to frame entryways, and serve as backgrounds for small species of flowering plants. Because the trees tend to be compact, they're a good choice for container gardens.

In general, kumquats like full sun, and do best if they are given a well-drained spot. When more than one tree is planted, they should be placed at least ten feet apart both ways.

Kumquat trees tend to be rather bushy and benefit from regular pruning.
