Miewa Kumquat
The Miewa or Large Round
Kumquat (Fortunella.crassifolia) is grown extensively in China. In Japan,
it is also called the ninpo or neiha kinkan. It was introduced into the
United States from Japan in 1910, but is still somewhat rare here.
 |
Meiwa kumquats are more round
in shape and are often referred to as "sweet kumquats". They have few
seeds and are best eaten whole. While they are very good to eat, it is not
recommended that you use them for cooking or for marmalade as they lack the
tartness of the Nagami kumquats. (Right) #15 Meiwa

Our Citrus trees are
ready to fruit, not little saplings. Some even come with fruit ready to eat,
many come with fruit that just needs more growing time. Trees are typically sold
in #5, #7, #15 and 24" box sizes. Your best value for long distance
shipping are our #5 plants. But if you or your garden need a big fruit tree then
try our 24"
box and 36" box sizes. That also means
these are big plants and require some effort to pack and ship. In California we
will deliver your order. Prices
and check out do not include shipping or delivery charges. Local
customers may choose to pick up their order at the farm. Total shipping costs
are based upon quantity of plants bought, your location and how fast you want
the plants there.
