Calamondin info, aka Miniature Orange Tree

A Calamondin is a cross between a kumquat and orange or kumquat and mandarin. It makes a very nice houseplant. The plant height can be controlled by the pot size and pruning. It will grow larger in the ground. Cold resistant 25 degrees.

It is quite showy and fragrant when the fruit and blossoms kick in. Blooms and produces fruit all year long. The fruit is orange/red about golf ball size. It taste like a lime with a hint of mandarin. The rind is edible and sweet to taste. The fruit is juicy with high acidity. The fruit makes an excellent marmalade. It also stops insect bite itches. The fruit can be frozen whole and used as ice cubes in summer drinks.

The plant is rather cylindrical and erect with dense branches and will grow in a variety of soils.
