Re: kumquats.....Jim S?

I do, Chris, although I have to say.......out of all the citrus I have  grown 
or grow, these are the ones that have given me the most problems in the  
past.  I don't know if they are just more touchy or what......perhaps Jim  S. can 
give us a "how to".  Most all the citrus are in  bloom.....yeah!!   Have a few 
that need to be picked.    Added some new varieties to the citrus area not 
too long ago. One in  particular I found interesting, a variegated Cara Cara 
(Cara Cara is a blood  orange, but had never seen one variegated), also got a 
Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit  on dwarf rootstock.   Any particular growing tips on 
these Jim??
 
 Kumquats, like most sweeter citrus, are grafted, but many folks  grow citrus 
from seeds.  Again, Jim would know more........if it would  be worth a shot.

Speaking  of lemon seeds, anyone here grow kumquats?  I've been munching 
on a  bunch that I bought at the grocery store and love  them.
