Kumquat Fortunella margarita

Temperatures Kumquat
Usually the specimens which have been planted for a long time aren’t frightened by the inclement weather, anyhow we suggest to mulch the soil around the young plants, using straw or dry leaves. Young plants usually are provided with stakes, so that they can develop erect. The Kumquat can bear minimum temperatures a few degrees below zero; in general during the Spring it would be grown outdoors without any problems, but if the harsh temperatures should go down it is advised to cover it with non-woven fabric.Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight.

Irrigation Kumquat
As maintenance to our fruit orchard, to avoid other plants from using the water and fertilizer which we give to our fruit plants, let’s remember periodically to clean from infesting plants, hoeing the soil on the surface. Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 4-5 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 1-2 buckets of water .

Feed Kumquat
Towards the end of the winter, or the beginning of the spring, let’s add some mature manure or earthworm humus to the soil near the trunk.
