| Beautiful tree; I have seen them 24 feet tall; still beautiful and soooo productive. Sorry to say most just enjoy the color and do not enjoy the fruit. BTW is that a Plumeria in the white pot? You have to be careful about that on the citrus forum... some people are sensitive to "invasive" plants...LOL |

| Hi Houstontexas, Love the look of your Kumquat!! Looks like it likes it surroundings there at your dad's house. Everything looks great.

Take care and continue to grow all of your beauties ;-) Always love to see you post!!! Take care, Laura |

| Hi Laura! Good to see you! I agree with you:-) Houstontexas, that is a wonderful looking tree. I wish I could grow a tree as big and beautiful as that. Thanks so much for sharing it with us! What are those white flowers on those plants against the house. I love them. Are they fragrant? Boy, look at all those plants! Mike |
