I just put in a Meiwa, which is apparently the only Kumquat with both sweet skin and sweet flesh. Can’t wait to try the fruit.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Great!

[@robertbailey8570]

where did you get you meiwa from

[@vnxettitw4879]

I have one for 3 yrs, you'll be so happy by how much fruit you get!! They are so easy to grow, mine is in a pot.

[@sophieha7623]

Thank you for your informative taste test. I was trying to decide which out of the two to buy. Your video has helped me to decide 😊

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

You're welcome 😊

Спасибо за обзор, очень понравилось 👍
У меня есть три кумквата - Мейва, Нагами и Маргарита.
Мейва самая сладкая 😋

[@infinite.dreamz]

Thank u for detailed video. Helped me to choose one of them.❤

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Glad I could help!

[@vnxettitw4879]

Great info! I just bought calamondin to use as lemons. I already have the kumquat for 3 years. I love that you compared the taste for... a citrus sommelier?😂❤

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Glad it was helpful!

You will never come down with a cold!

[@Coolclimatetropicalfruits]

I agree
I love nagami over other kumquats

[@mapd6831]

I’ve had my calamondin for about the same as your one, and it has just exploded with new growth and flowers, i even got 10 fruit that i picked in october

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Well done!

[@franzb69]

it's not that we prefer them green, it's just that calamansi don't ripen orange in our country coz it's too damn hot here. we usually pick them whenever we need a few.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Thanks for clarifying.

Daleys are being misleading on their label George, as botanically a Calamondin is not a kumquat of any type. Calamondin is Citrus x Macrocarpa ( or synonym C x Mitis ) whereas Kumquat depending on shape and place of origin is Fortunella Margarita , Fortunella Japonica or Fortunella Obovata. The difference is of course that true kumquats have sweet peel and in some cases ( Meiwa ) sweet flesh whereas Calamansi are bitter everywhere. My ( ex ) wife is Filipina and it's probably the most used citrus in the Philippines in drinks, cooking and an air freshener in public toilets, I suspect purely because it grows well in their warmer climate. Interestingly she grew up in the UK from the age of 11 and can't stand Calamansi and doesn't use it at all 😂😂

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Interesting! Thanks for pointing this out Brett.

[@Coolclimatetropicalfruits]

This is actually a calamondin x kumquat not just a calamondin
It is very confusing when they use the same names like this

[@rikkomarnag1614]

Im filipino but calamondin are hybrid by kumquat and another species of citrus

[@cezargheorghiu2606]

I am groing calamondino green and orange for the time being, I will try kalamansi too :D

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Sounds great!

[@07ledzepp]

Calamansi is good for cooking adobo! and marinating BBQ

[@Darren23417]

citrus yeah

[@givemea314]

I'm a bit late but if you eat the full green kumquat it should be very sour

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Ok

[@rhombifer566]
