Hi Dave, great video, thanks for sharing. These fruits, when picked in their late green state (just in the verge of turning yellow/orange) is great for adding on marinades, salad dressing mix with herbs & oil, etc, and to add on table sauces (soy sauce, etc). We call it “kalamansi/calamansi” in Tagalog/Filipino (other variations in different dialects). It is sour as most citrus, but with more sweet tangerine tinge taste to it. I grow one in a pot here indoors in England and so far I’m seeing new set of fruits from when I bought it a lil over a year ago. They do grow slow... but I love the foliage and fragrant flowers!
Dave During the winter we’re moving from Northern California to Michigan. Bringing these in a Uhaul covered trailer, what do you recommend I do to protect them from the cold inside the trailer?
i have found, that if you get any plant even citrus, if you can get it old enough it can live and grow in most countries, the weather wont affect it as much, but will never flower or give fruit. i live in north west england, we had an orange tree, in lancashire! outside it wasnt huge, and never flowered, but it was living and happy enough.
Hi Dave I would like to have the chance to get one of the parents of calamondin out from its fruits seeds. Exactly I would love to grow fortunella hindsii the kumquat with whom calamondin have been crossed do you think this is possible sowing calamondin seeds? Thanks for your help
These are great looking edible/ornamental citrus plants! I'm in NJ, so they would do great about 8 months of the year. The problem I have near me are squirrels. They usually like to tear into most garden plants, but since these hybrid crosses and citrus (in general) aren't native here - I wonder how they would do. Any thoughts?
So beautiful healthy plants but I got from amazon for rs 600/- I don’t mind for money but they shown plant in picture same as your plant but they sent very small flower and very small fruits Feeling bad. I want that which you are showing such a nice so many are there full bushy big flower and big size fruit plant.😌😌😌 what to do????? I Thank for so many information
olucky11 They are sour like a lemon, but wit a hint of orange flavor. They are great to have around for marinating. In the desert of SoCal, we had fruit almost all year as they will set more than once.
I bought one at Home Depot in north Jersey of all places around April, before any spring plants came out. They had this display of citrus trees out by the front of the store. I was looking at it, wondering who in their right mind would be buying an orange tree when I stumbled across a calamondin tree. I snatched that bad boy up and gladly paid $25 for it, taking it home like I won the lottery!
This is not calamansi. It is bigger and sweeter. The fruit also gets orange more quickly. I'm sure it's nice and would be great when used to make a jam, but it is nor calimansi.
Thank you the great video. If you could please show how to prune the calamondin tree, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Can we elaborate on alternatives to an ISD treatment?
In Canada i put mine in greenhouse and under 300w LED in winter which covers 3-4 3' trees.
441rider i have been trying to find a grow light that isn’t just a single bulb. What brand do you use?
I have two calamondin trees. I bought these seedling three years ago. They did not produce yet. Any advice?

in california the squirrels go after my persimmon trees but they don't bother my citrus.
Southern Ontario, the squirrels do no bother with my calamondin or lemon trees.
Very few animals are keen on any citrus, hence citronella spray for interrupting naughty dogs and deterring insects.
In Kapampangan, we call it ''calamunding'', while in Tagalog ''calamansi''.

How do they taste? I watched the video thinking.....surely he will describe the taste...but no.

olucky11 they taste amazing! My grandma used to make a calamondin-ade, like lemonade, and it was WONDERFUL!!
Squeeze over fish
Eat the fruit whole, including the skin, the skin is sweet and the fruit juice sour, a perfect combination.
You need to use the green one not the yellow.
Are you selling a plant of calamansi?

It is calamansi, calamondin name came from calamonding, which is calamansi in some filipino dialects (kapampangam)
