Enjoy Sweet, Edible Kumquats Year-Round

The Meiwa Sweet Kumquat is a must-have for citrus lovers, offering a deliciously sweet alternative to the more common kumquat varieties. Unlike the tangy Nagami Kumquat, Meiwa's golden-orange fruit is larger, with a sweet, edible rind and juicy flesh that provides a burst of flavor.

This small, evergreen tree features glossy, dark green foliage and fragrant white blooms that arrive in spring, followed by fruit that ripens from December through April. The Meiwa Sweet Kumquat is a natural hybrid, first cultivated in Japan, and is prized for its minimal seeds and easy growth in a home environment.

The Meiwa Kumquat trees bloom and fruit sooner than seed-grown trees, making them the ideal choice for those seeking a quick and healthy citrus snack or a vitamin C boost in the colder months. Don't miss out on this popular citrus tree. Grow yours today!

    Kumquat Memories

    Both of my Meiwa Sweet Kumquat trees have green Kumquats on them! This is soooooooooo awesome! I received the trees in January and kept them inside in containers until the end of March. Then I placed them outside on the deck in full sun in 5-gallon buckets. Each tree flowered at different times, but they were close together so the bumblebees danced through both of them. I noticed little green buds about a week ago, and now I have marble-sized dark green kumquats on both trees! I am sooooooooo excited!!! We used to eat bright yellow-orange kumquats around Christmas in my youth.

    Trees.com Plant ExpertHi Sarah! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story with us! Hearing about your bumblebee pollinators and seeing those dark green, marble-sized kumquats forming brings us so much joy. You've done an incredible job acclimating them from their winter container rest out onto your sunny deck!
