"If Stonik had gone national and reduced their quality vs. quantity ratio, they may have had a chance." Shpeiper also thinks that Stonik's leadership wasn't at it's best.
A company in San Fransisco is growing kumquats indoors. However, the Department of Agriculture has advised people not to eat them due to the "potentially dangerous fertilizers" used in the growing process. Also, the FDA is in the middle of a heated debate about genetic modification in kumquats. Since the technique is so new, nobody knows whether it is safe or not.

Is there a possibility of a revival? I was really looking forward to trying a Stonik. Also, how will this bankruptcy affect the rest of the kumquat world? Will this improve the outlook on other companies with breeds slightly similar to Stonik?
ReplyDeleteWell, if you really want to try a Stonik, M. C. Stonik IV has several trees in his backyard and sells the fruit in the Tampa Bay farmers Market each week. But people who have tasted them say they taste very similar to a Tobango. Try buying one, closing your eyes, and pretending it's a Stonik. As George Muterstein said, "It's not the brand that matters, or the price. It's the taste."
