Kumquats are acidic citrus fruits that are popular for their use in marmalades or fresh eating. Nagami Kumquat is the most commonly grown variety with tiny, orange, oval fruits, the size of a large olive, that are eaten whole. The flesh is sour and the rind is sweet.

A medium-sized tree that may go semi-dormant in winter, Nagami Kumquat is a bushy, thornless, cold-hardy tree that looks great in the garden or in a container on the patio. Self-fertile. Needs heat to sweeten fruit. Harvest Fruit in Winter. Protect from cold temperatures below 24F.

Semi-Dwarf vs. Standard citrus trees:
The difference between a semi-dwarf tree and a standard tree is the mature height. Semi-dwarf citrus trees are smaller and grow to approximately two-thirds the size of a standard tree form. Depending on the position of the lower branches on the trunk, a semi-dwarf citrus can look like a bush with a short trunk, or a tree with a trunk.

The mature height of a Nagami Kumquat tree based on average growing conditions is:
Semi-Dwarf tree: 8-15 ft. tall.
Standard tree: 15-20 ft. tall.
In containers, the Nagami Kumquat tree will be smaller and can easily be pruned to maintain a desired size.

The mature height and fruit production of your citrus tree will depend on several environmental factors such as climate, light, soil type, texture, fertility and moisture, and pruning practices. Your citrus tree can easily be maintained at a smaller size with annual pruning.
