Nordmann Seedless Kumquat

Richard · 03-25-2014, 06:27 PM

Figured out a place for a famous kumquat. Ordered it today from Four Winds Growers and put a place-holder pot in the orchard.

other than being seedless is there any major difference between this one and other nagami komquat? I have one growing that I got from our local komquat festival.

Given that the fruit is eaten whole, there is quite a bit of difference!

i eat mine whole too and only get seeds out of 1/3 of the fruit.

I will warn you that once you eat these you'll be spoiled for life.

i already am! i love the tartness/sweetness and find it interesting that the rind is the sweetest part of the fruit. you should try making komquat cream pie sometime (similar to key lime pie). it is to die for.

Do they have a seedless Meiwa?

Meiwa is a cultivar of Kumquat (Citrus japonica), albeit a round instead of oval kumquat.

Nordmann Seedless is also a cultivar of Kumquat, derived from the oval cultivar Nagami.

My plant arrived today! I'll give it a few days of rest in the indoor propagation area then plant it outside.

nice looking plant Richard.

Today I had some transplanting to do. I made the following

Soil Mix:
1 cubic foot local decomposed granite (left over from construction)
1 cubic foot Kelloggs Topper (left over from a project last year)
1 quart fresh worm castings (for bacteria and worm eggs)

As I transplanted, I dusted exposed roots of the plants with about 1/4 teaspoon of Mycorrhizae powder per plant.

After watering the plants and soil down, I placed a 1+ inch layer of 1/4 inch orchid bark on top of the soil to slow down evapotranspiration (we have lower humidity here).

I marked the pots using a white-out pen (Bic Wite*Out) -- a trick I learned from Julie Frink.

Here's my new Kumquat in a 17" pot:
