Plant in a Box Citrus microcarpa fortunella Kumquat -

The Citrus kumquat, or kumquat tree, is a beautiful ornamental citrus plant that produces small oval oranges with a slightly sour flavour. This unusual citrus tree produces fragrant white flowers, followed by the bright orange-coloured fruit. Give it a sunny spot and enjoy the lemon tree in your own garden. The flowers of the kumquat tree give off a wonderfully sweet fragrance. The creamy white flowers appear in abundance in spring and the tree bears fruit every year.

Care
The kumquat thrives best as a container plant. Choose a large flower pot with holes in the bottom so that residual water can drain away. Water the citrus tree sufficiently immediately after planting. Citrus trees prefer a sunny, sheltered location. It is not necessary to prune a citrus tree. Cut back overlong branches by half in February and remove crossing branches. Water regularly in summer, preferably with rainwater. The citrus plant is not hardy and should therefore be brought indoors before the first frost. The citrus tree can also be kept indoors all year round.
