Meiwa Kumquat Reference saturated blue in late summer

saturated blue in late summer and early fall

so plant a drift alongside blue plumbago

The form is upright and somewhat architectural

That legacy comes with a firm warning

sweetly fragrant and heavy with nectar

Meiwa Kumquat Reference saturated blue in late summerThe Meiwa kumquat is the sweet one, the kumquat you can pop whole into your mouth and eat skin and all. A small, tidy, evergreen citrus, Fortunella crassifolia carries round, bright orange fruit a little over an inch across, and where most kumquats offer a sweet rind wrapped around sharply sour pulp, the Meiwa softens the contrast: the peel is thick and honey sweet, the flesh only mildly tart, so the whole fruit eats like candy off the branch.
