Dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball, position the tree, and backfill firmly. Water deeply after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilize three to four times yearly using a citrus-specific formula in late winter, late spring, and early fall. Prune lightly in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and improve light penetration throughout the canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":45814274130106,"sku":null,"price":209.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/meiwa-sweet-kumquat-fl_726b52d6-b37a-4d4a-b18a-594344177ede.jpg?v=1777509830","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/meiwa-sweet-kumquat-fl","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
