The Story Behind It
The Meiwa Kumquat originated in China centuries ago and has been beloved across Asia for its sweeter, more balanced flavor compared to other kumquats. It was introduced to Japan, where it became a household favorite, and eventually spread to the United States.
Because the Meiwa is milder and sweeter, it’s considered the “dessert kumquat” and is often preferred by families and first-time kumquat growers. Its beauty, productivity, and unique eating style have made it a standout in gardens worldwide.
When you plant a Meiwa Kumquat Tree, you’re growing citrus that blends sweetness, beauty, and tradition in every harvest.
