    Generally, these will produce anywhere between 2-5 years of age, depending on how grown (seed or purchased seedling). Also, here is more information on growing kumquat trees: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/kumquat/growing-kumquat-trees.htm

    You will not need to soak your seeds, plant them directly from the fruit. Start the seeds in a small starting pot in a potting mix.
    Keep your seed moist and warm while it germinates. Then as your seedling grows you can move up the pot size.

    Try doing a scratch test on the trunk to see if the tree is dead or just dormant - If you scratch the bark with your fingernail or a knife and you see green underneath the bark, then the tree is dormant. If you see brown underneath the bark, then the tree is dead.

    If you discover your tree is dormant then I would just give it time. Each year, the seasons and the weather are slightly different, and trees will wake up when they are good and ready, which may be at a different time than they usually do.

    Here a few things to check that came to mind:

    Soil moisture - the soil of a kumquat should be kept consistently moist (but not damp/soggy).

    Is it rootbound? It very well could be. Kumquats do not like to be root-bound and prefer large pots, so maybe a re-potting (in a pot with fresh soil and large drainage holes) is just what it needs.
