Calamondin

Citrofortunella microcarpa

A small sour orange that fruits almost continuously and looks good doing it, which is why it has been a Florida dooryard plant for a century. Too sharp to eat raw and excellent in a marmalade, a marinade or a glass.

Growing Calamondin in Central Florida

Full sun to part shade and happy in a pot for years. The most forgiving citrus here: it takes more cold, more neglect and more shade than the rest, and still carries fruit and flowers at the same time.
