Pollination Info
Fukushu Kumquat Tree Pollination
Fukushu Kumquat Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Fukushu Kumquat Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Fukushu Kumquats can be grown outdoors in regions with mild winters. If growing it in a pot, place the plant in a well-lit room during the winter. The potting soil should be coarse, acidic, and well-drained. Choose a spot that gets at least 8 hours of sunlight per day. In containers, use a starter pot that is 10-14 inches or 3-5 gallons in size, with excellent drainage. If planting in the ground, choose a spot with adequate drainage and prepare the area with looser soil. When planting, ensure the tree stays straight and secure in the ground, then water deeply and thoroughly. Citrus trees can be grown closer together for a citrus hedge or a multi-variety bush.
2. Watering: For citrus trees, it's best to allow the soil to dry out between watering. Create a watering basin around the tree's drip line for deep watering, expanding it as the tree grows. Water deeply once a week for in-ground or container plantings.
3. Fertilizing: When fertilizing, use a balanced fertilizer monthly during spring, summer, and early fall. Apply citrus mix 3-4 times per year: in late winter, late spring, and early fall.
4. Pruning: In early spring, prune the tree to maintain its shape, remove dead or diseased branches, and cut suckers below the graft union. Suckers take vitality from the fruiting wood, so they should be removed promptly, especially on young trees.
5. Pollination: This plant is self-fertile and requires no other pollinators.
