This is our first year growing these Hong Kong Kumquats. Known as Kinzu in Japanese, these are highly treasured trees for bonsai around the world. They grow really fast and are quite easy to grow. The warmer the climate the better for this species. But, you can still grow in cold weather with some simple protection. As it gets colder the leaves begin to turn yellow and some (or all) will fall off until they regrow next spring.
The seed was collected off of an excellent Japanese specimen so the genetics are likely really quite good.
