Calamondin Orange Tree – Citrus × microcarpa

The Calamondin Orange Tree – Citrus × microcarpa is a compact citrus tree loved for its small orange fruit, fragrant white blooms, glossy evergreen foliage, and ornamental beauty. Also called calamansi, this citrus is a favorite for customers who want a useful patio citrus tree, container plant, edible landscape plant, or small fruiting tree for the yard.

Calamondin fruit is small, bright orange when ripe, and tart with a lemon-lime style flavor. While it is usually too sour for most people to eat like a sweet orange, it is excellent for squeezing into tea, water, seafood, sauces, marinades, desserts, marmalade, preserves, and homemade drinks. Many customers grow calamondin because the tree is both pretty and useful.

This tree is also one of the most decorative citrus choices. It can bloom and fruit heavily, often holding colorful fruit on the tree while showing off shiny green leaves and fragrant flowers. The blooms attract bees and other pollinators, making it a nice addition to patios, porches, edible gardens, and sunny landscape spaces.

In North Florida and the Florida Panhandle, Calamondin Orange trees should be planted in full sun and well-drained soil. Calamondin is more cold-tolerant than many tender citrus trees, but young trees and container-grown plants should still be protected during hard freezes. It is a great choice for large containers because it can be moved or covered when cold weather is expected.
