Glossy evergreen foliage

Edible, decorative fruits
Ideal for a conservatory or sunny patio in summer

A cross between a mandarin orange and a kumquat, Citrus ‘Calamondin’ makes a beautiful plant for a sunny patio or conservatory, producing fragrant white flowers followed by round yellow fruits which taste as good as they look, set off against glossy green leaves. The main harvest is between July and October, but the tree will keep on producing flowers and fruits sporadically all year round. The fruits have a thin skin with a sweet flavour that contrasts deliciously with the tart, acidic flesh. Enjoy them whole or use them in drinks and cooking.

How you will receive your plants:

Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a pot, ready to plant out.

Can’t plant straight away?

Place the pot in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the soil moist.

Planting tips and hints:

Planting in containers:

Choose a pot with good drainage holes. Place stones or crocks (bits of broken pottery) at the bottom of the pot to stop the drainage holes clogging up. Use a good quality loam-based compost like John Innes no 2 and mix in up to 20% sharp sand or grit.

Feeding and aftercare:

Feed in spring and summer with a specialised high nitrogen citrus feed and in winter with a balanced citrus feed. Move to a frost-free environment in winter, but avoid rooms with central heating as the atmosphere will be too dry for citrus. Water sparingly in winter. Use rainwater rather than tap water when watering, especially in areas with very hard water
