Thank you for your opinions.
My first kumquat was one of these small trees that are sold in flower shops, not nurseries. It was so expensive and I hesitated to buy one, then I noticed my cousin bought me one as present when I was thinking at a corner
The price at that time was 10x of current prices. But that tree lived happily at my balcony for 3 years and then I made almost a thousand kumquat tree using it as source.
I know what Radoslav mean when he says scam but I see these ornamental trees as quality cut flowers or ornamental flowers that are sold at corners as Millet mentioned. It is a nice touch in someone's life even for a period. Like buying a violet in a vase from the corner supermarket.
Millet, I will mention your name on company website as "great doyen advisor" and it will be your business from then
And I will be pleased to send you a tree anytime before reaching the million
Anytime I talk to someone and when they learn I am doing citrus business the first thing they ask is those small orange fruits that can be eaten with the peel and they can grow in a container at their balcony. "Yes" I reply; "the kumquats."
So actually I will be pleased to talk about the technic more.
1. Can you identify the rootstock from the photo. Yes it is a trifoliata but which?
2. Do you think it is a cleft graft or do you have different ideas?
My first kumquat is almost 10 years old and it is still 1m tall, I suspect it is a flying dragon.
I found out C35 is a perfect rootstock for kumquat, it makes the tree semi-dwarf but it helps branching from the bud point. So the tree starts with 3-4 branches just from the bud union and the result is a compact very beautiful tree.
