Default Re: kumquat

I would try to get one that is grafted onto trifoliate orange rootstock. That rootstock is deciduous which assists in dormancy of the tree so it helps prevent freeze damage. It isn't as much of a concern with kumquat as it is with lemons/limes and other citrus that begins growing when the temps temporarily warm up. The meiwa kumquat is the most common sweet varieity and the nagami is the most common sour variety. It depends on your preference.
