Since the most “growers from seeds” seem to attend this thread, I repeat my offer for quất
seeds here.

Although the quất has a delicious citrus fruit, developed in China and related to the kumquat, its
significance in Vietnam during Tet is akin to our tree at Christmas here.

To me it is a very pretty ornamental plant, which bears fruit, while it can be kept almost as
small as an ordinary mums.

Here are a couple of pics. to illustrate what I am talking about.

For more details see: Seeds for Quất, possibly the most attractive and hardy citrus…

I have brought back plenty of seeds back, even though they averaged only about 3 to 4 seeds
per fruit. It wasn't much of a chore, since quất are delicious as well as decorative.

If you are interested in some seeds, please PM me with your address.

Best
Olaf
