Meiwa Kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia)
The Meiwa Kumquat is a beloved citrus variety known for its sweet, edible skin and mild, tart flesh. Unlike other kumquats, this one has a notably sweeter flavor, making it ideal for eating fresh off the tree or using in jams and preserves. Its compact size and fragrant, glossy foliage make it a popular choice for ornamental as well as culinary purposes.
Meiwa Kumquats grow to around 8-10 feet but can be easily maintained at 4-6 feet when grown in containers, making them perfect for patios or indoor environments. This self-fertile variety produces small, seedless fruits that are a pleasure to snack on, peel and all.
Resilient to most citrus diseases, it thrives in warmer climates but can also withstand cooler temperatures, offering a good level of cold tolerance. Standout features include its ornamental beauty and the delightful balance between sweetness and tang in its skin and flesh.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
