The Calamondin Orange (Citrus x macrocarpa) is a half-hardy citrus tree that combines productivity and ornamental charm.
Known for both its visual appeal and fruitful yield, this compact and symmetrical tree brings a touch of warmth to your garden.
The small, juicy orange fruits, referred to as 'agri-dulce' in Latin countries, offer a unique taste experience—initially bitter, leading to a delightful sweetness.
Against the backdrop of glossy, dark foliage, delicate clusters of tiny white flowers fill the air with a year-round, delightful fragrance.
The fruits, while taking up to a year to ripen, are well worth the wait.
Harvest them as they ripen, and once picked, they can be stored for up to two weeks.
Perfect for patio, conservatory, or a heated greenhouse, the Calamondin Orange stands out as a specimen plant in scented and exotic gardens.
This self-fertile tree eliminates the need for a pollination companion.
With a mature height reaching 3m and a spread of 2m, this citrus gem can survive brief periods below 0°C.
For optimal care, grow it in large containers and move indoors to a bright, frost-free position from autumn to spring.
Supplied in a 3-litre nursery pot.
