Location and care tips

The ornamental kumquat tree, which can grow between 50 cm and 2 m tall, likes a warm, sunny and sheltered spot. You can place it on your south-facing windowsill, for example, or in the conservatory or greenhouse. It thrives magnificently in sandy, loamy and moderately moist soil and develops many refreshingly fragrant flowers from May to July, which ripen into bright orange fruits.

History

The original home of the ornamental kumquat tree is southern China. In the middle of the 19th century, the Scottish botanist and explorer Robert Fortune brought the tree to Europe and London. The various kumquat varieties are named after him. For example, there are Fortunella Ophelia, Margarita and Japonica. They are all beautiful and we offer the Fortunella Ophelia.
