Another myth...
« on: December 15, 2016, 10:27:21 AM »
Kumquats don't do well on their own roots... This is my Changshou kumquat from seed. It is now almost 20 ft tall & loaded with fruit every year.

I believe changshou is actually a hybrid of kumquat and a mandarin.

Nice to see you again, Laaz!

Changshou/Fukushu is my favorite citrus.  Nice to see a full grown one.  How long did it take to reach first fruit from seed?

Hey Brian, been a while. It took about 4 years from seed to start fruiting.

I have never heard that kumquats don't do well on their own roots. There are plenty of booming seedlings around here.They can get bigger than 20 feet.
