The Meiwa Kumquat Tree is a sweet, compact citrus tree that is a wonderful choice for North Florida gardens, patios, containers, edible landscapes, and home orchards. Meiwa kumquats are loved for their small round fruit, sweet edible peel, and bright citrus flavor.
Unlike many citrus fruits, kumquats can be eaten whole, peel and all. Meiwa is usually sweeter and less tart than Nagami kumquat, making it a favorite for fresh eating, snacking, marmalade, preserves, desserts, and holiday fruit displays. The tree also adds beauty to the landscape with glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white blooms, and cheerful orange fruit.
In North Florida and the Florida Panhandle, Meiwa Kumquat is one of the better citrus choices because kumquats are generally more cold-hardy than many other citrus trees. Young trees may still need protection during hard freezes, but Meiwa is often easier to manage in our area than more tender citrus. It can be planted in the ground in a protected sunny spot or grown in a large container where it can be moved or covered during cold weather.
