Calamondin (Calamansi) Tree
Best exotic fruit tree for home gardeners seeking a rewarding cultivation experience.
The Calamondin (Calamansi) tree is a delightful citrus hybrid, a cross between a tangerine and a kumquat. It yields small, thin-skinned, tart fruits perfect for eating fresh, juicing, or incorporating into salads and cooking. The fruit, up to two or three inches across, appears against a backdrop of dark green, glossy foliage. This versatile tree thrives in the ground in USDA Zones 8-11 or can be grown in containers indoors or on patios in Zones 4-11. When planted outdoors, it typically reaches 6 to 8 feet, while container-grown trees stay around 4 to 6 feet. Calamondin trees are also considered symbols of good luck, especially during Chinese New Year.
