Kumquat Tree Starter Plant. Fortunella Margarita. 3" - 5"

This Nagami Kumquat tree starter plant will produce Fortunella margarita citrus fruit in approximately 3 years depending on the climate where you live. This starter tree is grown from seed and is currently between 3'' and 5'' in height above soil. It will continue to grow either outdoor, or indoor when temperatures reach freezing temperature. For indoor growing, we highly recommend using UV Grow Lights, as there is no loss of development. They can vary in size, but are quick growing, so even a smaller plant will be considerably larger in a couple of weeks. Our horticulturists have planted, grown and nurtured our Kumquat citrus trees since seed, and have cared for them for a minimum of 4 months. They are well rooted, healthy, and ready to be adopted into your family, to bring you years of joy.It can be eventually planted outside if you live in zone 8-11 climate, or a greenhouse, or indoors with appropriate UV sunlight bulbs, if you live in a colder climate, such as our beautiful Maine. These hardy trees will adapt to any surroundings. The kumquat citrus fruit is known more for its peel, instead of the pulp. It offers such a distinctive taste and texture that makes delicious marmalades, preserves, and dried fruits. It is the only citrus fruit that can be eaten in entirety - skin and all. The Nagami could not be easier to grow, because it is drought-tolerant, and pest and disease resistant. Each plant is wrapped in bubble wrap, to protect against damage in transit.
