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 Dwarf Orange Tree
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
This little 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
Citrus 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. Your plant will start to suffer in temperatures below 5°C.
Overwatering, underwatering and shock can all be a cause of leaf drop. However, in most cases, return to a regular watering routine and temperature will lead to recovery. A citrus feed added to the water every couple of weeks can also help to maintain a healthy plant.

The fruit of this tree are very tart, so don’t try and eat them raw. However they make a refreshing and unusual addition to cold drinks and and add a great flavour to game and poultry dishes
