Species: Citrus
Features: Evergreen, RHS Award of Garden Merit, Fragrant
Flower Colour: Aromatic white flowers from April to June
Flowering Time: April, May, June
Harvest Time: July, August, September, October, November
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: This shrubby tree has a neat and bushy habit that's easy to manage.
Hardiness: H3 - This tree will typically need some protection in colder climates. It's frost hardy down to -5°C so it's potentially able to cope without additional protection in milder coastal climates.
Soil Type: This tree does best in loamy soil that drains freely. If you have poor soil, consider amending with some organic matter or perlite like to improve drainage. As this tree will likely be grown in a container, consider looking for a citrus-specific potting mix.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 2-3m.
Pest & Disease Resistance: This tree isn't usually troubled by disease but can be affected by certain pests, including aphids, spider mites and scale insects.
Tasting Notes: A combination of sweet and sour
Uses: Eat fresh, slice and add to drinks or use to make a sticky marmalade!
Self Fertile: Self fertile

Planting: Ideal for pots. If planting multiple, plant 3-4m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Keep your tree watered throughout the year. A good gauge of how long to leave between waterings is to allow the top 10cm of soil or compost to partially dry out before you water again. This is particularly important in autumn and winter, as overwatering can stress your tree. In spring and summer, you can water more liberally. Originating in highly humid regions, this tree will thank you if you regularly mist its leaves.
Feeding: Like most citrus trees, calamondins require regular feeding throughout the year. You can use a fertiliser specifically formulated for citrus plants, following the instructions on the label.
Pruning: In late winter, around February time, give your tree a trim, removing overcrowded branches to keep a neat appearance. If it's starting to look a little leggy, cut back your tree by around two-thirds.
