Citrus Tree -Kumquat

Product Description

Citrus Tree
- Kumquat Grow these exotic ‘chinese oranges’, a small citrus fruit! Kumquats, sometimes known as Chinese oranges, are the smallest of the common citrus fruits. Unusually, the skin & zest of a kumquat is sweet, while the juicy insides are tart with a hint of bitterness. A real winter treat, you can eat kumquats whole with no need to peel them. Why not try cooking them with sugar & spices for delicious compôtes & aromatic chutneys? Or make your own kumquat liqueur? These plants are self-fertile & one of the most reliable citrus plants for fruiting with heavy crops of bright orange fruit with a superb flavour. Supplied in a 2.5 litre pot. Citrus trees are surprisingly hardy, tolerating low temperatures & will thrive in most gardens given a warm sunny position. In the UK they are perhaps best grown in a large pot or other suitable containers as this will make it easier for them to be moved as conditions determine. Citrus Trees will not tolerate wetter conditions & waterlogging for any length of time will usually result in the loss of a plant. For this reason, they should be grown in very free-draining soil or compost.
