When is the best time to trim a kumquat tree?

The best time to trim a kumquat tree is in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. This timing helps minimize stress on the tree and allows for better healing and growth after pruning. Avoid trimming during the fall or winter when the tree is dormant, as this can hinder its natural growth cycle. Regular maintenance pruning can also be done to remove any dead or overcrowded branches throughout the growing season.
