I wonder if the flavour would have improved as the plant matured. How did it compare to a kumquat? And do you actually like kumquats?

I like Meiwa kumquats over any other citrus. My 4 NZL"s did not have a chance to ripen because the tree got sick. They were quite tasty anyway.

I use the opportunity to repost this question. Who has ever tried Kucle?

I just notice that I originally posted this question. I found someone over seas that has one. He said the fruit was sour but he still liked it. They are not available in the USA.

How about the flavor and the rind? Compare it to Nippon and Indio.

Marten Do you have access to one. If so you can try one otherwise I would stick with a Meiwa or Fukushu. I don't know since I have never eaten one. The main advantages of growing kumquats is lower sugar with lower acid and the convenience of eating it whole with no mess. trees that grow small fruits are easier to grow trees that produce large fruits and still get a good harvest.

Here in Germany it would be easy to buy Kucle, but I do not have enough space, so wanted to check it first whether it makes sense. I am just wondering whether a hybrid between an Mandarine and a kumquat makes sense. I already have Fukushu and a and will soon receive a Marumi.

Skip the kucle If you add a 3rd kumquat tree get a Meiwa. If you have gotten any fukushhu fruits, how did they taste. I am still waiting for my first fruits. My Meiwas had a sweet skin and a lightly sour flesh when still more green than yellow and sweet threw out when fully orange. This mostly green Meiwa fell off my tree and it was slightly sweet skin and some what sour pulp. It was too early to eat. After eating is had a sweet after taste that lasted a minute or 2

Meiwa fruit was very small at 12.7 mm in diameter.

I really like Fukushu, it had a sweet slightly sour taste, relatively juicy. The tree is still young so I hadn't many fruits yet.

I ordered a Kucle today and will probably receive it in April. Will see whether I'll like it or not.
