Looking for kumquat seeds?

Question

Can anyone supply me with kumquat seeds.I would love to have a kumquat tree.I like to say thanks before hand for your help.

Answer 1

I don't think kumquats come "true" to seed -- that is, it takes two different plants to fertilize a kumquat, and what shows up after you plant the seed may be a completely different kind of citrus fruit. You'd be better off buying a kumquat plant if you want kumquats.

If you just like the idea, then go to the grocery store, and buy kumquats. Plant any seeds. It'll be about seven years before you know what you've got, but citrus makes very nice houseplants. (-: They love coffee grounds, too! Good luck!

Answer 2

Its too bad you didn't ask last year, when I was living in Castro Valley. The yard had 2 of those trees down the back hillside. And I would have been happy to pick ya some of the fruit so you could get the seeds. Maybe the new owners wouldn't mind if I went down there and got you some. I'm interested in seeing what they have done with the old place.

Answer 3

I can send you some in the fall,, i have several trees and use the seeds to start new plants,, unlike Mr intelligence
"unaforna" says they sometimes bear fruit the first year after planting!! Just be advised, they like many other citrus fruit trees have very large thorns!! My lemon trees produce 500-600 fruit each but it is hard to pick them because of the thorns!! luckily they need pruning after fruiting so i just cut the branches with the fuit and pick the fruit from the branches!

Answer 4

Purchase one on line and have it shipped to you.
If you do get it to germinate by the time it bears fruit you will have to put them in blender to eat them cause you will be too old to chew it.
