Most people will pull citrus fruit directly off the plant, but this can result in ripping off a larger piece of the actual plant than you intended, so you are better off using a knife or scissors to cut the fruit off.

If you don't have a spot where the tree gets at least six hours of sunlight, you may need to provide supplemental light to make sure the kumquat continues to flower and produce fruit, notes the University of Wisconsin-Madison Master Gardener Program. Keep the indoor temperature between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid extreme changes in temperature and make sure that hot or cold air does not blow directly on the tree. Decrease the temperature 5 to 10 degrees at night.
The temperature change is critical to ensure your tree produces flowers and fruit, according to University of Wisconsin-Madison Master Gardener Program. Making sure your citrus is planted in a suitable pot with quality soil is critical for effective kumquat tree care. A small, young citrus will do well in an 8-inch pot, advises the National Gardening Association. As the tree grows, you will need to repot the tree in a bigger pot, and eventually, the tree will grow into a to gallon container.
Clemson Cooperative Extension recommends repotting every three to five years in a pot that is one size larger than the previous pot. You can go to a reputable local nursery that sells citrus trees or check online for trustworthy nurseries that have been in business for a long time.
Being in business for a long time is a good indicator of nurseries that supply quality products. You can find Meiwa kumquat tree for sale and Nagami kumquat tree for sale from citrus farms or nurseries and the trees will be delivered right at your doorstep. When do kumquat trees bear fruit? The Standard and Dwarf Meiwa kumquat trees produce fruit from winter to early spring while the Nagami Sour Kumquat fruits mature in late winter.
If you wish to shape the Kumquat tree, make sure to do it after harvesting the fruits but before spring when flowers are in bloom.
