Also known as Calamansi or Citrofortunella microcarpa.  The calamondin plant is a wonderfully easy citrus plant to care for and keep in a container.  It produces fruit year-round under proper conditions.

The calamondin fruit, often referred to as the "golden lime," can be used to make marmalades, jams, sauces, marinades, drinks, or to add a zesty kick to any dish. The fruit has a thin, smooth, and shiny skin that is deep orange when ripe and is delicately fragrant with a sweet and tangy flavor that is reminiscent of a blend of mandarin oranges and lemons.

This plant is also highly prized for its ornamental value. Its small stature and compact growth make it an ideal choice for small gardens, patios, and balconies, and its attractive foliage and colorful fruit add a touch of tropical flair to any landscape.

Plant Care

To care for a Calamondin tree, plant it in well-draining, slightly acidic soil and place it in full sun. It can tolerate lower temperatures better than other citrus trees but should be moved indoors during Canadian winters. Calamondin is relatively drought-tolerant, so it's better to underwater than overwater it. Use a balanced fertilizer during spring and summer and reduce or stop during fall and winter, when growth slows down.

• Propagation Method: Grafted plant, ready to produce fruit with proper care. 
• Fertility: Self-fertilizes, better with a second plant (cross-pollination improves fruit set).
• Temperature Tolerance:
• Ideal Minimum: 15 C
• Minimum Tolerated (briefly): 10 C
