🍊 The Citrus Kumquat, often simply called Kumquat, is a charming and compact citrus tree known for its vibrant fruits and glossy foliage. Unlike many other citrus varieties, kumquats are unique in that their small, oval fruits can be eaten whole — peel and all — offering a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.

🌼 Flowering & Foliage
From late spring into early summer, this plant delights with clusters of delicate white flowers that emit a gentle, sweet fragrance. These blossoms are not only beautiful but also herald the arrival of bright orange fruits that usually mature in the autumn and winter months. The leaves are dark green, shiny, and evergreen, creating a lush backdrop that highlights the brilliant fruit throughout the year.

📏 Height & Habit
Typically growing to about 1.5 to 3 meters in natural conditions, kumquats are often kept smaller in pots or gardens through pruning. Upon delivery, the plant is a manageable and healthy size, perfect for indoor or outdoor cultivation on patios and balconies.

💧 Care & Watering
Kumquats thrive in full sun but can tolerate some light shade. They prefer well-drained soil and appreciate regular watering during the growing season, allowing the soil surface to dry out slightly between waterings. In colder climates, protection from frost is essential, and indoor placement during winter months can ensure year-round vitality. Feeding with a balanced citrus fertilizer during spring and summer supports healthy growth and fruiting.

🌵 Thorns?
Yes, like many citrus trees, kumquats may have small, sharp thorns, so handle with care when pruning or harvesting fruit.

👃 Fragrance
The flowers offer a subtle, sweet citrus scent, adding a gentle fragrance that can brighten any space, while the fruit itself carries the fresh aroma typical of citrus groves.

⚠️ Note on Toxicity
Kumquat fruits are edible and safe for humans, but care should be taken with pets, as citrus leaves and seeds can cause mild digestive upset if consumed in large amounts.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 60 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 19 cm.
