I have some kumquat bushes that are sprouting some thorny limbs. Should these limbs be removed and when is the best time?
Pruning kumquats?
Are you limbs coming from below the graft? If so, those are your rootstock, and yes, you can and should prune them off.
You can prune citrus anytime, but you may lose some fruit.

What can I do with a bag of kumquats?
I bought a 2-lb bag because I'd never tried a kumquat before. The flavor is ok, but I can't take the texture.
Are there good kumquat recipes?
Thanks.
What can I do with a bag of kumquats?
make kumquat jam.......you can find in the Internet..
or kumquat syrup
-%26gt; kumquat cut into small pieces. try to remove the cut up seed ( cause the syrup to be bitter).. waste it clean..
-%26gt; water
-%26gt; sugar.
add enough water to cover it boil till everything is soft( about 1/2 hour) .add 1/2 amount of sugar ( boil till the water is thicken...... filter the flesh and keep the liquid ...
Great with soda water, cocktails and etc..
Reply:try making a smoothie! that would blend off the texture, leaving the delicious sweet flavour behind!
Reply:Oh, My. I've got so many ideas...bring them over.
Reply:Some recipes, including one for a marmalade. It might use most of the kumquats you have.

How do you prepare kumquats and are they good?
I've never had a kumquat before and I noticed them at the supermarket the other day.
How do you prepare kumquats and are they good?
Here's a couple of sites to look at.
Reply:Wash them because lots of people pick them up out of curiosity. Then, eat a small one. You'll either hate or love them. Or even better, slice into small slices, then try one. I think they're too tart for out-of-hand eating, so I make a simple sugar syrup (about 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup or less sugar), bring to a slow boil, then lower the heat, add the quats, then simmer for about 10-15 minutes. They'll turn translucent. Drain, cool and add to a fruit salad. Or on ice cream. Lotsa luck.
Reply:They are fine to eat skin and all..you can also make preserves with them..sort of like a marmalade..
A little tart..kind of like eating an entire orange in one bite..
Reply:wash them and eat them, rinds and all - they are different, but delicious!!!

Kumquats (Cumquats-British spelling) have been called "the little gold gems of the citrus family". The kumquat has a thin, sweet peel and a zesty, somewhat tart center. The kumquat tastes best if it is gently rolled between the fingers before being eaten, as this releases the essential oils in the rind. Eat kumquats as you would eat grapes (with the peel).
The kumquat's unique flavor lends itself as a pleasant addition to many food dishes, deserts, and salads. The kumquat can be candied or kabobed with other fruits or vegetables with meats, such as poultry, duck, pork or lamb. It is also a favorite for jelly, marmalade and chutney.
When picked with leaves, kumquats make great winter holiday decorations and make a superb garnish for entrees and drinks.

Is there such a thing as a sweet kumquat? Those I have tasted, and the one i am growing, are too sour for me.
Yes there are..the rounds ones are sweet..and the oblong ones are sour.. It may be the other way around..I had both before and forget..I'm going to post this then research it for you and edit..Here is the info
The Nagami or Oval Kumquat (Fortunella.margarita) is the most common variety in the United States. It was introduced into Florida from Japan in 1885 and has been grown commercially in the "Kumquat Capitol," Saint Joseph, Florida since 1895.
The Nagami Kumquat is oval in shape, 3/4" to 1" in diameter and between 1" to 2" long. The tartness of the fruit makes them great for use in cooking and/or for marmalades and jellies.
The tree is shrub like and is similar to an orange tree in appearance. It is a prolific bearer and very decorative because of the dark green leaves and brilliant orange fruit. The fruit lasts for several months on the tree in warm winter climates.
The trees do very well when planted in the yard or in larger pots. They can withstand temperatures as low as 28 degrees and require about the same care as other citrus. They can be grown throughout Florida, but produce larger and juicier fruit when grown in the sandy soils on the hills of eastern Pasco County in central Florida. The kumquat tree is highly resistant and possibly immune to citrus canker.
Here is the sweet one
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.
The Meiwa kumquats are not normally available commercially. However, we have had some requests for them in the last few years. Call or E-Mail for availability and pricing.
Is there such a thing as a sweet kumquat? Those I have tasted, and the one i am growing, are too sour for me.
All kumquats have sour flesh and a sweet rind. When you eat them, you eat them peel and all. The combination of the sour flesh and sweet rind are quat gives kumquats their distinctive taste.
Try cutting the kumquats in half and squeezing out some of the juice before popping them in your mouth. That will get rid of some of the sour taste.
You can also make a marmalade out of the kumquats. My mom made some a few years back and it came out great, with the flavor of the kumquats, but without the super-sour tang. You can also can them, cooking them in sugar and spices before sealing them in canning jars. That takes a lot of the sour away, too. Makes a great glaze for a baked ham.

but as to separating bunches --- i can't get my head round that .
how tall are the trees you speak of ( because it is difficult to " cut through and divide " as you would call it ) .
look gather the seeds and try to propagate from both trees .
good luck .
Reply:Okay, I think you have two quextions here.
It sounds like your Kumquat is the tree that you planted that now has 2 trunks. This is pretty typical with citrus trees due to the fact they have been grafted. The tree will often try to send up a second sucker or trunk below where it was grafted. Go ahead and wait until you have fruit, and if you notice that one of the trunks doesn't have fruit on it, then it is coming up from below the graft, and you can cut it off. If both trunks produce fruit, go ahead and keep it.
The cassia can be pretty heavily divided, mangled, chopped, mowed, etc. It is pretty much just a pretty, flowering weed. So go at it. Hope this helps.
I live in FL and have a Kumquat and Cassia tree in yard.?
i'am with bill not sure what your wanting to do check on the net there are many ways to propagate and you will learn alot been into trees for a long time

I have a Kumquat Tree and live in FL. Can I move my 7 foot tall tree to another part of my yard?
Will I kill it? When should I do this? How wide and deep should I dig to get it out?
I have a Kumquat Tree and live in FL. Can I move my 7 foot tall tree to another part of my yard?
western garden book has a page devoted to moving large established trees. it can be done, but you're supposed to prepare the tree for moving months or even a year ahead. mark a circle around the tree ten times the diameter the tree's trunk at ground level. then, with as sharp spade, cut around the circle to the spade's depth. this will encourage the tree to grow a new set of feeder roots where you root pruned. when you finally do transplant, dig slightly outside this circle so the majority of the roots the plant needs will be in the root ball. several days before the move, thoroughly soak the soil around the tree. particularly with evergreen trees, spray leaves with anti desiccant spray. dig a trench around the root ball, severe the tap roots with your spade, and secure the root ball around the sides with chicken wire. transfer to new hole. obviously, you need help with this--two other strong people besides yourself, imo.
Reply:Hire a professional tree service to move it ....it would kill the tree if you did it and it may even kill you ...a seven foot tree is not easy to move.
Reply:To do that, I would wait until winter when the sap quits running. Then, keep the root ball as big as you can. Do not try it right now or it will die. After you move it, water a lot. Good luck.
Reply:You can't do it yourself. You'll need to hire a tree company to do it. They have a truck that'll come in and scoop it out with all its roots intact. Its gonna make a big hole, probably 8-10 feet across and 8-10 feet deep.
Reply:Moving a tree that size is implausible. The tree will go into shock and die. This is because it is established and is not supposed to be moved at this size. Do it properly by getting professionals to do it.

I have a kumquat tree. Need help??????????
It it multiplied trucked. If I cut it back to one or two trunks will they thicked and not be so leggy?
And what time of the year is the best to do it?
I have a kumquat tree. Need help??????????
No, this removal of a couple of the trunks will not make it bushier and thicker. It will however, send more growing energy to the ones that are left to grow and fruit. The best way to make them thicker, is to prune down the top of the tree. Remove only about 25% though. Too much at one time is a strain on the tree. Remove all of the "water sprouts" (tall leggy branches growing straight up). By cutting back the crown of the tree, it will send out new growth below where you have cut, thus making them more thicker and bushier. This pruning technique holds true for all trees and bushes and is a normal pruning practice to make shrubs bushier. You need to however, make sure that you prune some of the inside branches that are crossing the trunk to open it up for better air circulation and to allow more sunlight to reach the tree. This pruning should be done in the late fall or winter while the tree is dormant. By doing this, you will keep the tree from "bleeding" out from the cut wounds that you will administer when pruning. The flow of sap will be done at this time of year.. Hope this answers some of your questions..

Reply:late fall or early spring
Reply:Not sure about the wording in the first part of the question, I have had a few of these and I have found that if you trim them, they take to it well, as long as you do not go overboard, they thicken back up nicely, the best time to trim them is when they are in bloom, just before fruiting depending on where you live whis will be early to mid spring, maybe even into summer.

What is a kumquat? fruit or vegetable?
It is fruit, we also decorate our home in Chinese New Year with small pots of this plant. Pick the fruit after Chinese New Year, wash and dry under Sun for a day or 2, soak them in plenty of salt in big jar for a few months. We put two or 3 of these preserved kumquat in a big glass of hot water, squeezed the flavour with spoon and drink it for healing sore throat.

Why aren't you supposed to eat kumquat seeds?
probably since they are sharp and pointed, plus they are green, they wouldn't be good for your system and very hard to digest
Why aren't you supposed to eat kumquat seeds?
You can if you so desire, I suppose.
Kumquats are like inside-out oranges. The skin is sweet, the pulp inside is bitter/sour. Since the pulp is where hte seeds are, most people avoid it, and eat only the skin, which tastes good.

How do I care for a kumquat?
I recieved a 5 gallon tree free from my boss, and I can have another one, if I want it, but;
A. They are kinda dried up, but salvagable.
B. I don't know if they're good trees to have.
C. I would have to grow one of them in a planter.

We had one when I was a kid in So. Ca. Nice small tropical looking tree. Ours was 15 yr. old and only 10'. I liked them fresh, preserves and salted. Have seen them in planters more than in the ground. They are pretty cool, take them.
Reply:If it freezes in winter, best to have in container so you can move to shelter.
You would care for like any other citrus tree. They don't get huge and can be an ornamental sort of large shrub. The fruit is kinda neat - kids like them, and they make good marmalade/preserves.

Can you taking cuttings from a kumquat tree?
If you want to start a new citrus tree you need to do what is call air-rooting. To do this go to the garden center and get a product called root tone. Peel back a small section of the bark about 2-3" from where you will separate the limb from the tree, apply the root tone per instructions and wrap with a good potting soil held in place by aluminum foil (sort of a bandage or a foot ball shaped container), poke a few pencil sized holes in the foil. Water daily for several weeks. After a few weeks open the foil and you should find new roots. Once you have new roots, clip the limb between the aluminum foil packet and the parent tree. Just plant the 'new' tree.
Good luck.

I have a plant called "Kumquat Obowata" is the fruit edible? M L Cole?
You probably have an kumquat called Fukushu or Changshou kumquat (Fortunella obovata). It is edible. As other people have noted, you eat the entire fruit; the rind is sweet but the fruit is tart.

or eat the lot
i'm not sure so thats why i want you to tell me
How do you eat a kumquat ? they r tiny tiny oranges?
You can eat the whole thing, but I usually don't because I don't like the skin. I bite a hole in the top, suck all the juice out, tirn it inside out %26amp; eat the fruit.
Reply:Eat the whole thing, but theyre pretty sour
Reply:You eat the whole thing. I usually soak them in brandy for a few weeks and then eat them.
500 gm kumquats
300 gm Caster or granulated sugar
1 x Cinnamon stick
2 x cloves
Brandy
Prick each kumquat a couple of times with a pin.
Put the sugar into a pan with 500ml water the cinnamon stick and cloves.
Stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Bring up to the boil.
Add the kumquats and simmer until tender Start checking after 15 minutes taking out kumquats as they are ready.
Put them straight into sterilised jars fitting them in as snugly as you can without squashing them.
Pour in enough brandy to fill about two thirds full.
Remove the cinnamon stick and tuck it down decoratively into one of the jars Top up the jars with the syrup making sure the kumquats are covered add more brandy if necessary.
Seal and leave in a cool dark place for at least two weeks.
Makes three small jars
A boozy after dinner treat for the adults approx serve the brandied kumquats in small glasses with a little of their syrup along with coffee or spoon them over vanilla ice cream.

How do you eat a Kumquat?
Small fruits, look like oranges, from the size of a penny to a prune...
How do I eat them? -cook, bake, peel, eat raw, etc?
How do you eat a Kumquat?
Ok David,
my first reaction to your query was , open your mouth and pop it in, but that is not what you want me to say is it?? They make a wonderful marmalade, that is a delight served with fresh scones and cream, it has a sweet bitter tast that has a Whisky flaviour, I found it a little difficult to find a good resipe, so here is my own. for every KG of fruit add equal amount of sugar, and the juice of 1/2 lemon, ( the lemon is the setting agant) place in deep pan (size according to quantity of fruit +water+sugar) cover with hot water, and let stand overnight, I use this water but others do not , they discard it and start with fresh water to make the jam. Resting overnight removes some of that sharpe taste that you get when you eat it fresh, ( that's the taste I love) Next day, bring the water and fruit to boiling point then stir in the sugar slowly, keep on the boil, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the skins are transparent and seeds rise to the surface, if the fruit has a large number of seeds you can cut fruit and remove most prior to cooking, Kumquats are juicy, do not waste any juice. So be prepaired and use a deep container to catch the liquid. When jam is finished it should be thick and a dark gold in colour, leaving some on a saucer to cool will give you an indication as to the concistancy that the finished jam will have. If it is not setting add the juice of another lemon. and boil a little longer to reduce the water content. Prior to bottling, scoope of sugar foam that will come to the surface of your jam. Bottle while very hot,and securely tighten the lids (pre- wash bottles in dish washer or boil ) taking care you do not burn yourself while bottling, as sugar retaines its heat a lot longer than boiling water. Remember cold water or ice are the only way to treat burns while cooking. Kumquats can also be stored in brandy. but I love it this way best. another way to eat the jam is to warm cottage cheese in the Microwaved, and thickly spread on your toast, then top with the Kumquat jam.

The kumquats or cumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the subgenus Fortunella of the genus Citrus in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, often segregated as a separate genus Fortunella. The edible fruit (which is also called kumquat) closely resembles that of other Citrus but is smaller.
They are slow-growing, evergreen shrubs or small trees, from 2.5–4.5 m tall, with dense branches, sometimes bearing small thorns. The leaves are dark glossy green, and the flowers pure white, similar to citrus flowers, borne singly or clustered in the leaf-axils.
Kumquats originated in China (they are noted in literature dating to the 12th century), and have long been cultivated there and in Japan. They were introduced to Europe in 1846 by Robert Fortune, collector for the London Horticultural Society, and shortly thereafter into North America. Originally placed in the genus Citrus, they were transferred to the genus Fortunella in 1915, though subsequent work (Burkill 1931, Mabberley 1998) favours their return to inclusion in Citrus.
Four or five species are currently accepted:
Citrus crassifolia (syn. Fortunella crassifolia) - Meiwa Kumquat
Citrus hindsii (syn. Fortunella hindsii) - Hong Kong Kumquat
Citrus japonica (syn. Fortunella japonica, C. margarita, F. margarita) - Marumi or Nagami Kumquat
Citrus obovata (syn. Fortunella obovata) - Jiangsu or Fukushu Kumquat
Citrus polyandra (syn. Fortunella polyandra) - Malayan Kumquat
Kumquats readily hybridise with other members of the genus Citrus and with the closely related Poncirus. These hybrids are known as Citrofortunella; examples include the limequat, orangequat, and calamondin.

Reply:Kumquats are orange. In fact they look like little oranges. They taste great, though they may take a little getting used to the first time you eat one.
They are eaten whole, peel and all. The flavors are the opposite of most citrus fruits. The peel is sour and sweet while the pulp inside is sour and slightly bitter. When you bite into the kumquat, the slightly bitter juice of the pulp of the juice is the first thing that hits your taste buds. That is then smoothed out by the sweetness of the peel.
It's a great flavor, but it can catch you off guard if you don't know what to expect.

My landscaper planted a "kumquat magnolia" but i cant find any info online about such a tree..is it misnamed?
A Kumquat is a member of the citrus family (like oranges and lemons) with yellow to red fruits. There is a variety "Marumi" and one called "Meiwa" -- but no "magnolia".
There are many Magnolia species and hundreds of varieties. There are some with the common name of "Cucumber Magnolia", but no kumquat magnolia!!!
What does your tree look like? Does it have any edible fruit??
Good Luck!!

Kumquat is a citrus and bears an edible fruit. It is also spelled cumquat.
Here in Australia people use it to make jam and brandy.
Search kumquat in wikipedia and you will find more info.

What is a kumquat?
It's a fruit, classified as citrus because it's similar to citrus fruits, but it's not actually citrus. It looks like a tiny, elongated orange -- the size and shape of a grape. The taste is sweet-sour; the skin is edible. I had some amazing ones cut in half and stuffed with a mix of cream cheese, nuts and orange liqueur.

HINTS FOR WORKING WITH KUMQUATS:
Pick only those of bright orange color and firm skins. Discard those with dark imperfections or if they appear shriveled or feel soft to the touch. Kumquats with the stems still attached may be stored in the refrigerator up to one month.
KUMQUATS
Yield: 12 – pint jars
3 pounds large round ‘Meiwa’ kumquats
2 1/2 cups golden rum
1 cup triple sec liqueur
2 cups water
1 stick cinnamon
4 cups granulated sugar
Optional: Sliced sugared ginger (specialty stores or Renninger’s Twin Markets, “O Nuts”)
6 – pint jars with lids
1. Set jars into a dishwasher on the hot rinse cycle without detergent. When rinsed, line up on a clean surface. Set caps and lids into a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
2. Wash roundquats. Insert a small sharp knife all the way through the fruit from the stem through the bottom. Insert it again in the opposite direction, creating a cross. Cut all the way through so air and moisture will be able to fill the center. This is important so the quats will not collapse after cooking, making the skins shrivel and harden to become inedible.
3. Combine rum, Triple Sec, water, cinnamon and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring. Boil, uncovered, 10 minutes.
4. Add roundquats. Bring to a full boil again. Boil, uncovered, 20 minutes, or, depending upon the size of the fruit, until the quat is soft and cooked within. (How will you know? Remove one. Slice in half. Taste.)
5. Drain water from caps and lids.
6. Set a few pieces of sugared ginger on the bottom of each jar. Fill with roundquats and liquid. Do not crowd because the quats will absorb liquid. Cover and screw lids on as tight as possible. Shake each jar and wash under warm water. Push lids several times. They will “pop”, but, as the quats cool, the tops will become tight.
NOTE: If using oval kumquats, increase the sugar by 1 cup.
NOTE: Recipe may be doubled.

KUMQUAT HAPPY JAM
7 pounds kumquats
1 pound sugar-glazed ginger, chopped
1 cup pasteurized Florida orange juice
1/4 cup Triple Sec liqueur
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
4 pounds granulated sugar
Optional: 5 boxes (packets) Sure Jell® pectin
1. Boil whole kumquats in water to cover 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water. Cut into halves and remove pulp and seeds. Pulverize in a food processor or through a meat grinder in batches.
2. Soak ginger in cool water 15 minutes, or until softened. Pulverize in a food processor or through a meat grinder.
3. Return to pot and stir in orange juice. Triple Sec, bourbon, chopped ginger, and half the sugar. Allow to sit at least 15 minutes.
4. Bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, 45 minutes, stirring often. Lower heat if jam begins to stick to the bottom.
5. Add Sure Jell® and remaining sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring. Boil 1 minute only and fill 1/2-pint jars according to directions.
Note- If you leave out the orange juice and cook the kumquat mixture longer, the consistency will thicken by itself, eliminating the need for any pectin at the end.
Pick only those of bright orange color and firm skins. Discard those with dark imperfections or if they appear shriveled or feel soft to the touch. Kumquats with the stems still attached may be stored in the refrigerator up to one month.

It may be young and you'll just have to wait for it to mature. If it's the ONLY kumquat tree for miles and miles, waiting wont help... it will have nothing to 'breed' with
