Growing Kumquat's in a pot

Kumquats are delicious mini-citrus fruit with a sweet outer rind and a sour flesh. When eaten whole they are a wonderfully sweet, sour, and pungent experience, all in one bite-sized morsel. 

Even better, Kumquats can be grown in a (large) pot, something really not possible with most other types of sweet citrus. 

You can buy the plant from Lowes in San Diego for about $30. I decided to try growing one from seeds. Typically Kumquats are grafted onto hardier rootstock, which is not so easy for a home grower.  But you can also grow them from seed. These general tips on growing indoor fruit trees are also helpful. It's a slow process, but you can also try rooting a cutting.

If your Kumquat never flowers, you may need more humidity.
