Satsuma and Meyer lemon have bloomed but the calamondin, meiwa quat and limequat have not flushed with blooms yet. They all had big crops last year. Do you think they are taking a year off? Have your quats in 9a bloomed yet?

Quats don't usually start blooming until late May - June.

Thank you for reply. I was beginning to worry. My granddaughter has a serious addiction to Meiwa kumquats.

After reading this post I inspected my Meiwa and noticed the tree is blooming! we have had a heat wave in the last 2 weeks here in NC. the weather has been so weird.

Ryan is your tree in the ground or in a container ?

I have one in the ground and three in a container and they are all blooming now. Its been around mid to high 90's here.

Those temps will help, we are strarting to hit the 90's here now so I should see some blooms soon.

Its in a container. Will that mean large fruit this year?

Don't know about large fruit, but I do notice my potted citrus seem to bloom earlier than the in-ground stuff. Probably because the roots heat up quicker.

My inground Meiwa has not bloomed yet but I expect it should soon. I also haven't been able to check it in three days. I check it tomorrow.

EDIT MAY 8 It has the tiniest of buds.

My limequat only blooms in the second flush of every year (never the first)....which is right now for us.

Thx for your comments.

My Meiwa now has white buds that look to open very soon.

I now have small fruit and more blooms.
