do-it-yourself potting mix that is perfect for citrus.

Kumquats bloom twice in the summer, about a month between the bloom
periods. The fruit ripens in the winter and needs a little chill to
get the best color.

Of all citrus, kumquats are the most hardy. See the second paragraph
at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumquat#Cultivation_and_uses.

Thanks David, and Boron, and Brooklyn, (and anyone I forgot to include) for
all of your advice. The holiday week end kept me
busy and I hadn't had time to even read the ngs until now.

I did take a chance when I finally had some free time to re-port the Kumquat
and I put it in the bigger pot that I had, used good soil that drains well,
and I pushed it down snug to the old root ball, too. Then I watered it
well, and put it in a nice sunny spot in the garden. I think I can even see
how much happier the plant actually is! (If a plant can smile!) Crossing
my fingers hoping it'll bloom and fruit this summer. It's growing new
branches and leave already, so I'm hoping it'll be happy in it's new pot for
several summers.
