>>>Kumquats<<<

I haven’t seen them since I was a kid. We would get a big box of citrus around Holiday time and they always filled in the voids with them.

Speaking of Kumquats, I had my first taste while attending school in CA. There were kumquat trees on campus near our dorm. I had no idea what they were, but we picked a few and they were truly delightful. A few years back I bought a couple at the grocery store. Maybe I’ll have to look for some again. I remember the ones fresh from the tree as being rather good, the store ones a little tart.

When I was a kid, they grew all over San Diego.

Even later, some of the older homes still had a tree or two.

You never see or hear of them today.

Maybe you can grow one from seeds.
