I ate a fruit before.
It was crispy through out, with little bit of sweetness.
Taste wise, it was mediocre like Gold Nugget from a supermarket.
I’m interested in grafting it to a branch on my tree but scions have been elusive.

I hope to taste the fruit this week. I got some from a person who just had a bag full from his customer. He didn't know what it was but when I saw the fruits, I knew immediately it wasn't the Meiwa. He gave me 3 fruits to take home so I have it and when I get the real Crispy Honey fruit, will do a side by side comparison this week and take brix readings. Isn't this variety true to type if you germinate any seeds? I ate one fruit and it had a seed so I'm saving it.

It seems that in these thick-skinned kumquats, the classic hesperidium becomes like a rosaceae fruit, which has a seed box in the middle and an edible pulp around it.

When I removed the seed casing on the two seeds I found, one had nothing inside while the other only had tiny bits with no viable seed. Hope you get lucky with yours!
