Meiwa
Meiwa is a cultivar of kumquat selected for its distinctive fruit or growth characteristics. But their true claim to fame is their sweetness, earning them the title of "the sweet kumquat." And the best part?. From the smooth, fragrant rind to the juicy, flavourful flesh, every bit bursts with flavour.
Nagami
Nagami is a citrus japonica cultivar. This citrus plant has glossy dark green foliage and fragrant white flowers and is suitable as a container plant. It produces small decorative yellow/orange fruit with an acidic, tart flavour and used in oriental cooking and for making marmalades.
Nagami Oval
Nagami Oval is a cultivar of kumquat selected for its distinctive fruit or growth characteristics. Unlike most citrus, the magic of the Nagami is in the skin—it is thick, fleshy, and surprisingly sweet, while the juice inside provides a sharp, refreshing tartness. Its compact growth habit and prolific bright orange fruit make it a ornamental choice for patios or as a fruiting hedge.
