Default Re: Anyone else growing Meyer Lemons or Kumquats?

I have planted two types of kumquat hybrids. One looks a like and orange and the other is crossed with lemon. The lemon cross seems not to have survived very well a severe winter the other year. The other orange looking type is very small after many years of frost damage, shade, and according to Richard likely needs to potash also. I picked all of the fruit last November except for one that I left on the tree and it is still there.
This last winter I protected my satumas from the cold and they look a lot better than after other past winters and are now starting to put out flowers.
