Today I planted a grafted ‘meiwa’ kumquat tree. Kumquat is a mini citrus and you can eat the whole fruit, skin and all. It has a very tart, sweet and sour flavor. They are smaller than other citrus and grows to about 15 feet. Each tree can produce thousands of fruits every year. Now that’s a lot of marmalade!
(LOL I forgot to snap a photo of the planted tree. I swear it’s planted!)
