These young kumquat plants produce small round fruits and have a neat compact shape. Like all citrus, the kumquat plant like plenty of light and will need to be kept inside during the winter months. A perfect size for a windowsill, these are a great way to introduce someone to the joys of growing citrus.
Current Description

Just arrived, these cute young kumquats are looking fantastic this week with lots of young green ripening fruits.

Good to know: Even though we carefully wrap all of our plants, when the fruit is small the plant will reject several of the embryonic fruits and only grow on the strongest to full maturity, you can help the plant to grow on more of the embryonic fruits by increasing the humidity around the plant with a humidity tray or regular misting at night or early morning.

30cm+ high in a 1L pot
1 x Kumquat   + £0.00

purchased this for my sisters birthday and she was very pleased with it. Arrived in good condition and on the date requested.

I don't know much about plants but I enjoy this product. It arrived in good condition and seems to be doing well so far. It has dropped a couple unripe fruits (which I read is normal for citrus) and I learned they're edible too. They taste like tiny limes unripe. My cats don't bother it, and I'm glad it's safe for cats and loves the sunny room like cats too.

This little citrus tree has both tasty fruit and fragrant flowers – sometimes both at once. It is a kumquat and bears sweet scented white flowers and distinctive orange fruit. It can bring pleasure for years, with the right care.

Like all citrus trees, this plant loves light. Near a window in a bright cool room or conservatory is best. Try to keep your plant away from any radiators or cold draughts which may shock your plant. A cool room is fine, but a draughty porch or a frosty conservatory is not. If your plant gets below 5ºC it will suffer.

Water thoroughly from the top when the soil is bone dry and let the excess water drain away. You might find it needs watering almost every day when it is hot in the summer but as little as once a fortnight in winter. It will depend on the weather and how warm your room is. The roots should not stand in water, so it’s always best to water these plants on the draining board and wait for the water to drain before placing it back in its usual position.

In the heat of summer your plant will appreciate a holiday. Put it outside on a sheltered patio and it will enjoy the fresh air. Bring it back inside when there is a nip in the evening air. Don’t worry if the soil feels dry on top - the most common cause of problems is watering too frequently in the winter months when the plant is resting.

The fruit and the peel of this exotic fruit are both edible raw, the more sunlight they receive the sweeter they will grow. The oval orange fruit are great on their own, in drinks or in desserts.

Problem solving

Sudden changes in environment, under or over watering can all cause leaf drop however with a return to regular watering and a stable temperature they will usually recover well.

Mouldy fruit or flowers is a sign that your plant is either over watered or in too damp a spot, try a sunnier position and leaving longer between watering.
