Citrus mitis
A hybrid of Citrus reticulata and Fortunella species

Small orange edible fruit.

Originally from South East Asia. This species is known to us only as an ornamental citrus plant, while in Japan it is cultivated for it's fruit.

Although the fruit of this tree is a little bitter to be eaten alone it makes a delicious addition in the place of orange or lemon in baking, goes fantastically with duck and can be sliced as unique and tasty garnish for cool drinks and cocktails.
How to Look After our Plants
Looking after your Calamondin
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
This dwarf orange tree has both decorative fruit and fragrant flowers – sometimes both at once. . It is a Calamondin – a cross between a kumquat and a mandarin, and is the easiest citrus tree to grow indoors. It can bring pleasure for months, or even years, with the right care
Calamondin trees like lots of light and a cool but not cold room. A light room near a window or a conservatory is ideal. In winter, try and keep your tree away from central heating and in the summer protect it from strong direct sunlight. In the heat of summer you can give your plant a holiday. Put it outside on a sheltered patio and it will enjoy the fresh air. Bring it back inside when there is a nip in the evening air.
In the heat of summer you can give your calamondin plant a holiday. Put it outside on a sheltered patio and it will enjoy the fresh air. Bring it back inside when there is a nip in the evening air. Your plant will start to suffer in temperatures below 5°C. These dwarf trees can grow to a maximum of two metres, producing masses of fruit every year.
Overwatering, underwatering and shock can all be the cause of leaf drop. One or two leaves is not something to worry about but more than 10 and your plant is not happy. However, in most cases, return to a regular watering routine and temperature will lead to recovery. If the new growth on your plant is very light in colour or has a mottled look, it is likely that your plant is lacking one of the trace elements. A good citrus feed added when watering should soon colour the leaves up.For more detailed information on citrus tree care, watering and problem solving visit http://plants4presents.co.uk/Citrus.aspx
The fruits of the calamondin tree are very tart. However they make a refreshing addition to cold drinks, can be used in place of other citrus in fish and game dishes and make great marmalade!
