Why you’ll love the Meiwa Kumquat:

  • 🍊Extra-sweet fruit & Edible peel – One of the sweetest kumquats you can grow
  • 🌸Fragrant white flowers – Fills your home with a sweet citrus aroma
  • 🪴Perfect for indoors – Grows well in pots with a sunny window
  • ⚡Grafted for faster fruiting – Blooms and produces sooner than seedlings

The Meiwa Kumquat is often called the Sweet Kumquat, and for good reason. Unlike many citrus fruits, the Meiwa’s peel is sweet and pleasant, making the entire fruit delicious to eat. Each fruit is about the size of a gumball – just pop one in your mouth and enjoy a burst of bright, sweet citrus flavor.

This kumquat tree is a wonderful choice for home growers. While Meiwa Kumquats are rarely found in grocery stores, they are easy to grow at home with bright light and simple care. In summer, the tree produces highly fragrant white flowers, followed by beautiful golden-orange fruit that ripens in winter. Our grafted Meiwa Kumquat Tree will flower and fruit sooner, so you can enjoy harvests faster.

Common Questions

  • What does a Meiwa Kumquat taste like?
    Meiwa Kumquats are known for their sweetness. Both the peel and the inside are edible, with very little tartness compared to other kumquat varieties.

  • Can I grow a Meiwa Kumquat indoors?
    Yes! Meiwa Kumquat trees do very well indoors as long as they get plenty of sunlight. A bright, sunny, south-facing window is best.

  • How often should I water my kumquat tree?

  • When will my tree produce fruit?
    Meiwa Kumquat trees typically bloom in summer and produce fruit in winter, usually from December through April. Because this tree is grafted, it will fruit sooner than non-grafted plants.

    Yes! Kumquats are naturally high in vitamin C and antioxidants, making them a healthy and refreshing winter snack.

  • How big does a Meiwa Kumquat tree get?
