Honey crisp kumquat
« on: February 20, 2024, 03:32:48 PM »
Hello to all forum members, I'm in search of Honey crisp kumquat (preferably seeds) because of dealing with customs etc. I know this kumquat is seedless, but I have also seen that people do find seeds in fruit (not much but none the less). Any forum member here from China or someone who can help me regarding this topic? Thanks in advance. I live in EU btw

I don't speak any chines languages but is it possible that "honey" and "crispy" are both describing the kumquat so the word order doesn't matter? Maybe both are variant translations of the same name?

Both of these search terms gets you the same results, don't blame me, blame the people who call it different names

Hello friend, I come from China. This variety is the third generation of the Crispy honey kumquat from Guangxi Province, China. Its advantage is that the fruit is relatively large, high sweetness and no sour taste. The seeds of this variety are very small or almost seedless, and here they are propagated by grafting.

quite pricey and in China, but maybe it's of interest to someone

How do you know it is in China? That site used to claim they were located in Virginia or something. Has anyone bought and received what they payed for from that site? It seems suspect to me.

I try to guess. Might it be a triploid hybrid of Fukushu and Meiwa?

I read it is  tetraploid, and the skin is diploid. The size of the fruit is as large as an egg (60 grams).

Don’t know about the site’s legitimacy, but the fruit shown on the pictures and the description, that’s it, that’s the one, that’s the fruit.

Hey ChangYun Nursery, is it possible to send scions (cuttings) or a mature tree (or seeds if you find any) to Europe. I am looking for this kumquat variety for ages with zero success yet. Thanks

I tried ordering from this website, and the seller wont send to EU, I suspect he doesnt deal with customs declarations. But I saw some people ordered from this website somewhere on reddit and order came (I think order was from US).

It is a natural budding variety of crispy kumquat. It has no shortcomings except that it is difficult to manage.

I would love to try it. So many varieties available in the world but not here. I wonder why the citrus budwood place doesn't have it? Is it a relatively new  variety?

Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find one in a few years... but $200 for what appears to be an internationally shipped plant, no thanks.

The company is not in Virginia, best I could find. If they were I'd try to go for a visit.
