Dwarf Nagami kumquat (forum)

Verity starts with ...
If my Dwarf nagami kumquat will forever grow in a pot, is it necessary to wait a couple of years before it’s allowed to fruit? I thought preventing it from fruiting was done to make it grow stronger branches but in a pot it’s never going to be as big as one planted in the ground. Whatever the answer to my question, is it also the same for any other fruit tree growing in a pot? Ta.

Hi Verity

Yes not allowing your fruit trees to bear fruit during their first few years is a sensible thing to do. Most of my trees I let them fruit during their 3rd or 4th year to let them grow strong roots and limbs to support their fruit production capabilities later on.
I uploaded my potted espaliered nagami kumquat about to flower in its 3rd year from purchase.
