Kumquats are such a wonderful addition to your garden and can also comfortably be grown in large pots. Each variety has slightly different qualities and the Nagami is a real favourite with dark green leaves, an oval-shaped bright yellow/orange fruit with sweet skin and tart sour flesh. Fantastic for eating fresh from the tree with a refreshing flavour or using in cooking and preserving.
