Fortunella margarita (Citrus) - Oval Kumquat, Nagami Kumquat
€69.95
Tax included
The Oval Kumquat (Fortunella margarita) bears many, decorative, elongated fruits from late winter to spring, and remains small and compact in growth. What more can you expect from a citrus plant for both novice and experienced gardeners, which fruit you eat with relish, not only the flesh but also the skin of the kumquat.
Native to China, Oval Kumquat (Fortunella margarita) with its small oval-shaped fruits is without doubt the most common species of kumquat. Its characteristic features: small, compact and intensely branched shrubs with tapered, dark green, glossy leaves. It produces many small (1-1.5 cm), white, intensely fragrant flowers. The fruits are egg- to pear-shaped, 3-4 cm long, 1.5-2.5 cm thick and have a weight of 20-30g. The peel has a light to intense orange color. They are eaten in their entirety, with their sweet peel and sour fruit pulp. The ripening of fruits continues throughout the winter so that for a classically early harvest in late winter Kumquats require a bright, not too cold winter quarter. Otherwise, the harvest will shift to spring or early summer. Oval Kumquat is quite hardy and can remain outdoors for a long time, but should be brought under glass during the winter.
