HABITAT
It is not known in the wild, it is presumed that it is a species native to China where there are records of its cultivation since the 12th century. In Japan it was already a settled crop by the 18th century.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It requires good exposure to the sun, sheltered from the wind, and a light, drained, fresh and neutral soil. The kumquat needs space, so it is ideal as an isolated specimen.
