for details. Click in left column on how to propagate.
Trees started from seeds may be sterile, i.e., no fruit.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood...

That site doesn't say how long it would take a kumquat tree to bear fruit.
Is there a female woodchuck nearby?

is another site. I like the part where it says that the plant is rarely grown from seed due to the fact that it does not do well on its own roots. Rather, grafting seems to be the propagation method of choice.

is another reference.
Guessing, if you are lucky you may see blooms in 7 years.
Long enough for me to kick your ass.
I've read that key limes will fruit in about 3 years from seed. I would expect kumquats to be about the same.
