Calamondin aka calamansi

12-28" Calamondin aka calamansi tree

In the Philippines it is sometimes called calamansi.  Here in the United States it is primarily planted as an ornamental, either growing in the ground or in a container. Calamondin is cold-resistant. The tree form is upright and columnar, and the leaves are small and dense giving the tree a fine textural appearance.  The fruits are small, round, and orange at full maturity.  The orange flesh is acidic, juicy, and contains a few seeds. Calamondin trees flower and set fruit intermittently throughout the year, adding to the decorative appeal of these trees.
