The Calamondin is grown more for its looks than for its fruit edibility. It performs well as a patio plant or when trimmed as a hedge. Fruit resembles a miniature tangerine and is very juicy, with a sweet but acidic flavor.The peel is thin and smooth, yellow to yellow-orange and easily separable. It is a small tree, with leaves that are smaller than most citrus. May take on a bushier appearing growth habit than some other citrus. Calamondins can be grown as an ornamental and will do very well as a container plant.
