Meiwa Kumquats?

[Emily Hope]

I realize that I'm asking a little late for this season, but I was wondering if anyone had seen any Meiwa kumquats around this year. They are rounder than the usual kumquats you see (which are Nagamis), with thicker peel and quite a bit sweeter. I bought some Meiwas last year when I was at the Santa Monica farmer's market, and I have been keeping my eye out for them ever since. Any leads?

This website explains the difference between the two varieties: www.kumquatgrowers.com/what.html

Berkeley Bowl. But that was 2-3 weeks back. Two weeks ago they looked like they were at the end. There were about 5 varieties of kumkwats 3 weeks ago.

Thanks, rw! I don't get over there enough... now I know for next year.
