I need to know when I can harvest my meiwa kumquat. I got this plant around June this year and am growing in a pot.
My plant has 5 fruit. The first one started turning orange around October. It is now fully orange and has been that way since about the end of November. It’s been growing indoors (60-65F) since about October.
Seems like most people do a taste test to know if they can harvest the rest, but I don’t have enough fruits to experiment with, lol. The other 4 fruits are rather smaller and have just started to color up now. Since they are so small, I’m not sure how good they will even be.
Otherwise, I have read that you are supposed to watch the oils in the skin?? I haven’t watched closely enough, I guess, to notice and difference in the skin, other than color.
How else can I determine when to harvest?
