Citrus japonica Kumquat Meiwa Dwarf

The Dwarf Kumquat Meiwa is a petite citrus treasure, perfectly suited to small gardens, balconies, courtyards, or even a sunny indoor position. This compact variety produces beautifully bright, round to oval-shaped fruit renowned for their exceptional sweetness. Unlike many other citrus, Meiwa kumquats are enjoyed whole — both the edible rind and the juicy flesh are sweet and flavourful, with only soft seeds nestled inside. The fruit can be eaten fresh straight from the tree, preserved, candied, or transformed into delicious marmalade, making it a wonderfully versatile addition to the home garden. Its glossy green foliage and naturally neat growth habit add year-round ornamental appeal, bringing a lush, vibrant touch wherever it is placed. With annual pruning, the Dwarf Meiwa Sweet Kumquat can be easily maintained at approximately 1 to 1.2 metres tall, making it ideal for growing in containers or compact garden spaces. It is self-pollinating, so only one tree is needed to enjoy a generous harvest of sweet, golden fruit.

Soil: Well-drained, sandy loam soil with plenty of added organic material such as compost.
Conditions: Sunny position. If you are in a colder climate, you can grow a Dwarf Meiwa Sweet Kumquat Tree in a container to bring indoors to a sunny window over winter. Citrus always prefers to be outside in direct sunlight, so once the threat of frost has passed, relocate your potted plant outdoors for the spring and summer months.
Size: Height 1-2m x width 1m
