The Calamondin Orange Tree is a beautiful and highly ornamental citrus variety, cherished for its glossy evergreen foliage, sweetly fragrant white blossom, and a generous display of miniature orange fruits. A firm favourite for indoor growing, the Calamondin brings a touch of the Mediterranean into the home, conservatory or bright windowsill year-round. This established tree is supplied in a 5 litre nursery pot, making it ready to settle into its new environment with very little fuss.

Unlike many outdoor citrus varieties, the Calamondin is particularly well adapted to life indoors, tolerating lower light levels better than most citrus trees while still producing its characteristically abundant fruits. The small orange fruits carry a sharp, tangy flavour and are widely used in cooking, marmalades, drinks and as a citrus substitute in recipes. The tree often carries flowers and fruits simultaneously, making it as practical as it is ornamental.
