Citrus-Kumquat-Fortunella japonica ‘Nagami’ – 5×12″ Pot

Fortunella japonica 'Nagami' forms delicious, small, egg-shaped kumquats that are eaten whole, skin and all. Hardy in coastal BC.

Fortunella japonica ‘Nagami’ forms delicious, small, egg-shaped fruits 1-2 inches long that have a thin rind and are eaten whole, skin and all. The rind has a sweet/tart flavour and the flesh is sweet giving an overall refreshing and thirst quenching experience. The ‘Nagami’ kumquat is hardy to zone 8 and can be grown year round outdoors in coastal BC. It produces large crops, is very ornamental, and can be allowed to grow as an open shrub or trimmed to keep tight, even as a hedge in protected locations. All of our citrus are grafted onto C-35 citrange, trifoliate orange, or other semi-dwarfing rootstock which confer good hardiness and production while reducing overall tree size.
