Probably will, If you remove the outer hull and keep the seed and soil moist at 90 deg, they will sprout real fast.

The seeds take 2 to 3 weeks to germinate. Keep it in a hot location near to the heater. Use seed starting mix.

How did your seed come out. This is what you can expect by using a good potting soil mix and an area that gets good light.

clink on the meiwa kumquat tree pic to access my photobucket display, then use left and/or right arrow key on your keyboard to navigate.

the soil mix needs to be very porous. I use 65%-rotted leave, 20%-riverbank sandy soil, 10%-crushed brick pieces, 5%-hardpan clay. This soil drains very well and gives the support the tree needs. These material are all readily found scrapes and are free even in large quantities.

My pots are small and deep. The bottom of the container is usually wet and slimy, because the water sets there and causes root rot in kumquat tree roots. Your kumquat tree will grow better if the bottom of it's container is out of reach of the roots. In the sumer I place my tree in container with no bottom and let the tree root go into the ground. This way there is no slimy build up as there is no surface at the bottom.

My containers have many drain holes to let extra water pass through and promote air circulation. Some pictures of containers for citrus. I also use a hair dryer to aerate the root as seen in the picture albums below.
