However, a few gardeners have decided to plant kumquat in glass bottles.
Kumquat trees are bent and raised carefully. Gardeners choose small trees to put into glass bottles with soil.
Gardeners say the demand for small pots of kumquats is growing as they can fit into narrow houses in the city.
A small but lovely kumquat tree with many pieces of fruit will make a house brighter and warmer, especially in the cold weather of Tet.
