Dig a planting hole twice the width and depth of the root ball, position the tree, and backfill with quality citrus soil, keeping the tree level and firm. Water deeply after planting to establish roots, then maintain consistent moisture during the growing season while 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 in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches, improving light penetration and air circulation throughout the canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":45814282551482,"sku":"20222","price":209.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/meiwa-sweet-kumquat-ga.jpg?v=1777509878","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/meiwa-sweet-kumquat-ga","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
