Notes on the Kumquats. By Joseph W. Stephenson. 1971 #1, pp 2-5 ...

Kumquats have been called "the little gems of the citrus family".
The kumquat tree is slow-growing, shrubby, compact, 8 to 15ft tall, the branches light-green and angled when young, thornless or with a few spines.

Kumquats and kumquat hybrids can withstand temperatures as low as 18° F, but the ripe fruit is usually less hardy than the foliage. The duration of the cold and the position of the tree in your garden also influence how badly trees are damaged.

The tulips' apricot-colored petals pair perfectly with the kumquats, still on the branch. The result is as fresh and joyous as spring itself.
