Meiwa Kumquat Reference The blooms open in steady

The blooms open in steady succession from mid-summer into early fall

sweetly fragrant and heavy with nectar

the pale makeup of the geisha among the uses

That legacy comes with a firm warning

spreading Ashe magnolia

Meiwa Kumquat Reference The blooms open in steadyThe Meiwa kumquat is the sweet one, the kumquat you can pop whole into your mouth and eat skin and all. A small, tidy, evergreen citrus, Fortunella crassifolia carries round, bright orange fruit a little over an inch across, and where most kumquats offer a sweet rind wrapped around sharply sour pulp, the Meiwa softens the contrast: the peel is thick and honey sweet, the flesh only mildly tart, so the whole fruit eats like candy off the branch.
