Calamondin are very rewarding to grow and will continually either flower or fruit on a sunny windowsill. They are the easiest to care for of all the citrus trees and are a perfect plant for a smaller space. The striking bitter orange fruit last for weeks and are delicious either orange or green in drinks and cooking.
Current Description
The calamondin are looking super again this week. These are nice and bushy plants with a good number of ripening fruits. Good to know: When the fruit are very ripe it is not unusual for some to drop off in transit. The good news is that you can still use them sliced into your drink of choice maybe? Don't forget you can use them when they are either orange or green and harvesting the fruit will trigger the plant into flowering again for your next crop.

I have used Plants4Presents quite a few times and every time am impressed. This tree is beautifylly grown and flowers/fruits all year.

The plant that arrived was absolutely beautiful. Well shaped and with perfect shiny leaves and covered in various stages of buds, flowers, green fruits and ripe orange fruits. They obviously make a great deal of effort to supply plants in great condition as presents (as opposed to plants for growing like from a garden centre). The pot was also lovely. I’ve been very very impressed with this company and will definitely use them again.

Care Instrictions

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 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 8C.

Water thoroughly from the top once or twice a week (more in hot weather) and let the excess water drain away. The roots should not be left to stand in water. A citrus feed added to the water every couple of weeks can also help to maintain a healthy plant.

These dwarf trees can grow to a maximum of two metres, producing masses of fruit every year. The fruits of this tree are very tart. However they make a refreshing and unusual addition to cold drinks, they can be used in place of other citrus in fish and game dishes and make a wonderful marmalade!

Problem Solving:

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. In the unlikely event that you find any pests (eg. aphids or caterpillars) on your plant use a soft soap or pest spray to wash off the offending creatures and pick off any damaged leaves to keep the plant tidy.

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
