Productivity of kumquats and their hybrids

(1/8) > >>

martweb:
There were a lof of discussions about the taste of the different kumquat cultivars and hybrids like e.g. mandarinquat. How about their productivity and yield when directly compared?

poncirsguy:
Root stock choice will make a big difference within same varieties.

Can they taste better grafted than on their own roots Or is own roots always superior for fruit flavor?

a_Vivaldi:
Rootstock affects fruit quality including size and total sugars. No idea which ones might improve kumquats though, most studies are done with commercial citrus in USDA field trials.

I have found that the Meiwa kumquat taste very  good on own  rooted seedling trees.  They are also quite tasty on Flying dragon rootstock
