Meiwa Sweet Kumquat Tree – Citrus japonica ‘Meiwa’ – Live Bare Root Fruit Tree Seedling, 3–6 Inches

Grow your own sweet, flavorful citrus with the Meiwa Kumquat Tree, known for its round fruits, thick sweet rind, and pleasantly tart flesh. Meiwa kumquats are especially popular for eating whole, including the edible skin. The tree produces fragrant white flowers followed by small, round to slightly oval orange fruits. Its attractive dark green foliage makes it a lovely addition to patios, container gardens, and outdoor landscapes.

This listing includes a young kumquat seedling approximately 3–6 inches tall, shipped bare root without soil or a pot. The plant should be transplanted into a well-draining potting mix soon after arrival. As a young seedling, it will need time to establish and mature before producing flowers and fruit. Fruiting time may vary depending on growing conditions and propagation method.

You will receive:
✔️ 1 live Meiwa Kumquat Tree seedling
✔️ Approximately 3–6 inches tall
✔️ Shipped bare root without soil or pot
✔️ Young citrus starter plant with natural size variations
