Giant bonsai shaped kumquat trees

[Desertcitrus]

I found videos and pictures of large kumquat trees shaped like rats, dragons and Christmas trees in Vietnam for TET. It is vietnams largest celebration. In the pictures and videos it looks like the grow the trees in mounds and then dig them up when they sale them and plant them it pots. Some of the pots have multiple trees planted in them like the dragon shows ones but I believe the other ones just have one tree. I would love to try something like this and use the kumquat tree as my Christmas tree one year. Any thoughts? What kind of kumquat do u think is used? They are round.

What about marumi kumquat?

Do you think you could use this method to grow a tree big and then put it in a pot?

Not sure if where you'd usually put a christmas tree is going to do well for citrus.

A warm and dry indoor spot, combined with not much light, is a bad place. Brining the citrus inside isn't always a problem, but you'd typically want a cool place, the less light it gets, the colder it should be.

It would be in my south facing windows where I usually put citrus in during the winter. They seem to like it.

What about marumi kumquat?

I watched a bunch of videos featuring that kumquat orchard in Vietnam. Yea, they do look like kumquat just not sure which cultivar.  I think they also dispose it after the holiday like what people do with their Christmas trees.

I wonder why they get rid of them.
