Kumquat - Nagami The Nagami Kumquat is the most widely available kumquat in North America, and is usually eaten whole, including the sweet fleshy rind. It has an olive size and shape, and the fruit is bright orange. Its oval fruit is 3/4 to 1 in diameter and between 1 to 2 long. The tartness of the fruit makes it great for use in cooking, or for marmalades and jellies. Nagami flowers best in areas with warm summers. The fruit ripens in late winter or early spring. Nagami Kumquat tree is shrub-like and is similar to an orange tree in appearance. It is a very prolific producer and is considered a remarkable ornamental because of the dark green leaves and brilliant orange fruit. In the warmer climates, the fruit lasts for several months on the tree. When planted in the yard, or in a larger pot, it will do very well. This Kumquat can withstand temperatures as low as 28 degrees and requires about the same care as other citrus. The word Kumquat comes from the Cantonese, meaning 'golden orange'.
