kumquat tree varieties
If you’re searching for the perfect kumquat tree for your New Zealand garden or orchard, exploring the range of kumquat tree varieties is the ideal way to start. Kumquats are compact citrus trees known for their glossy evergreen leaves, fragrant white blossoms, and delicious bite-sized fruit. While kumquats are sometimes overlooked next to larger citrus, their tangy-sweet fruit is prized for fresh eating, preserves, and even decorative value. As kumquat trees adapt well to container growing, patios, and edible landscapes, choosing the right kumquat tree variety ensures you get the fruit quality and growth habit that best suits your space and taste.
Kumquat 'Meiwa' (Cumquat Meiwa)
The 'Meiwa' Kumquat produces bright orange fruits in autumn. The edible fruit is sweet and mildly acidic. They arise from fragrant, white flowers in summer, which are borne amidst the glossy, dark green foliage as it grows to 2.5 m tall and 2 m wide. The 'Meiwa' Kumquat is commonly included in mixed plantings, maintained in containers, added to courtyard gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or grown as a specimen.
