Crispy Honey Kumquat - Lunar New Year

<< < (7/8) > >>

Ok, I got my Crispy Honey kumquat fruits from Pau (SF) and also another fruit collector (Aaron) who helped me find them.

When I have time this week, I will take some photos and detail of the brix reading from all three sources for this Crispy Honey.

I ate a few and they were very good, worth the $18 a bag. Maybe I'll find a seed in one the fruits. I see what Pau was saying about the skin, it does seem thin, and slightly harder skin with less oil than a Nagami or Meiwa skin. Otherwise it is so much sweeter than the Nagami or Meiwa.

1. Crispy Honey in the clear plastic bag as shown above.
2. Crispy Honey wrapped in gold foil.
3. Crispy Honey from one of my contacts who got it from his customer, no wrapping.

If someone could get a cutting and send it to Hershel we would ALL get to try it soon.  I bet its never been cleaned up and Hershel will do it.

Does anyone know if the seeds from this fruit will be true to parent fruit?

I have a lot of fruits now so I may just eat/cut open all of them and hope to find a seed to plant.

This is a place holder for some neat photos I will post here later tonight, just took them.

I have taken some comparison photos of the following so you can see the size, shape, and in some cases the brix readings I did.
- Crispy Honey, my last 2 fruits
- Nagami kumquat
- Nagami kumquat seedling, has larger fruits
- Nagami kumquat, weird one with mini size fruits
- Seedless Nordmann Nagami kumquat

Could not show the Meiwa, very low fruit productions on my trees and they ripen much earlier. I tried to ask anyone else who grows kumquat but no one had fruits now.
