Description

calamondin lemon tree Citrus × microcarpaCitrus microcarpa Calamondin Citrus microcarpa, commonly known as calamondin or calamansi, is a compact evergreen citrus with glossy foliage, scented flowers and small orange fruit. Its branching crown stays manageable in a pot, while mature plants can carry flowers, green fruit and ripe fruit during the same season when light and watering remain steady. The fruits are small, round and aromatic, with a thin orange peel and sharp acidic juice.

Citrus × microcarpa – Calamondin

Citrus × microcarpa, commonly known as calamondin or calamansi, is a compact evergreen citrus with glossy foliage, scented flowers and small orange fruit. Its branching crown stays manageable in a pot, while mature plants can carry flowers, green fruit and ripe fruit during the same season when light and watering remain steady.

The fruits are small, round and aromatic, with a thin orange peel and sharp acidic juice. Calamondin is both an ornamental potted tree and a culinary acid citrus, especially for seasoning, drinks, marinades and preserves when the plant has been grown and treated as an edible crop.

Calamondin orange fruit and dense crown

  • Growth habit: Compact evergreen citrus with glossy leaves and a naturally branching crown.
  • Flowers: White scented flowers followed by small round orange fruit.
  • Fruit: Sharp acidic juice and aromatic peel, with calamondin and calamansi both used as common names.
  • Fruit profile: Small orange fruit with sour aromatic pulp and thin peel.
  • Pot habit: Compact citrus for strong light, seasonal warmth and protected wintering above about 13°C.

Small orange fruit and dense branching

Citrus × microcarpa is an accepted hybrid citrus in the Rutaceae family involving kumquat and mandarin ancestry, commonly linked with Citrus japonica and Citrus reticulata. Older names include × Citrofortunella microcarpa, × Citrofortunella mitis and Citrus × mitis.

The plant forms slender woody shoots, oval glossy leaves and starry white flowers. Fruit ripens from green to orange and usually stays much smaller than a mandarin. The pulp is sour, so the fruit is mainly used for juice and flavour.

Calamondin container routine

  • Light: Give very bright light with direct sun where possible. Strong light improves flowering and fruiting.
  • Water: Water deeply once the upper part of the substrate has dried. Keep moisture more even during warm active growth, then water more carefully in winter.
  • Substrate: Use a free-draining citrus substrate with mineral particles. Calamondin roots need both moisture and air, especially in a container.
  • Wintering: Keep bright and protected above about 13°C. Mild winter temperatures need enough light and measured watering.
  • Feeding: Use citrus fertiliser from spring into autumn. Regular nutrition keeps foliage green and improves flower and fruit formation in a long-term pot.
  • Dry air: Heated dry air can increase spider mite pressure and leaf drop. A modest humidity lift plus regular foliage checks lowers winter pest pressure.
  • Flowering under cover: Flowers are self-fertile. Indoors, gently brushing open flowers can improve fruit set where insect activity is low.
  • Repotting: Repot when the pot is well rooted, moving up by one modest pot size. Oversized pots stay wet too long around citrus roots.
  • Pruning: Prune lightly after fruiting or before strong spring growth. Remove shoots from below the graft point if they appear.

Calamondin foliage and crop checks

  • Leaf drop after moving: Check light, draughts, dry air and watering changes. Calamondin reacts quickly when moved from bright outdoor conditions into warmer, darker winter conditions.
  • Yellowing foliage: Inspect the rootball first. Cold wet substrate can damage roots, while pale new growth can point to nutrient shortage in an exhausted mix.
  • Flower drop: Low light, dry air, heat stress or irregular watering can interrupt fruit set. Stabilise the growing conditions before increasing fertiliser.
  • Small or shedding fruit: Young plants may reduce part of their crop naturally. Keep watering even and avoid swings between dry and saturated substrate.
  • Sticky stems or leaves: Look along stems and leaf backs. Remove scale, aphids or mealybug early because honeydew builds quickly on glossy citrus foliage.

Calamondin fruit peel, pets and name

Calamondin peel, leaves and stems contain aromatic oils and psoralens. Clear dropped fruit, loose leaves and cut stems where pets can reach them, and handle small thorns carefully during pruning or repotting.

The generic name Citrus is tied to Latin citron naming and the wider group of aromatic citrus plants. The hybrid sign in Citrus × microcarpa reflects its hybrid origin, while microcarpa means small-fruited. Calamansi is widely used in the Philippines for the fruit and juice.

The price, the quality
This is exactly what my puppy needed to keep himself entertained. He gets really excited when it vibrates and chases after it. It’s made of good material, and you don’t have to open the lid to turn it on, which makes it much easier to switch on. I highly recommend it I would definitely buy it again.

Lasted 2 whole minutes
I think the foam should be thicker because my 1 yr old rottweiler puppy bit the ball where it closes/screws together and the plastic threading crumbled. Might be better for smaller puppies/dogs or cats, but for me it's 👎

Not worth the money.
Don't waste your money on this item, it is not as shown and described. Smaller than it looks and doesn't move as depicted.

Best Dog (Puppy) Toy I've Found
Color: Orange
This is a fun toy for me as well as my puppies! When it arrived I opened it right away. I was anxious to get my Pup's playing with something that wouldn't require me to play with them. I put it down and it was charged and ready to go. I had no idea what to expect. All three of my Pups were interested in it. (Which is unusual because two of them are Shih Tzu's and don't pay a lot of attention to most toys.) It's safe and really cute to watch. My youngest pup had been playing all day and was tired when I finally took a photo. I can't tell if the video uploaded correctly but if it did you can see how much fun it was. It is very durable and can actually turn itself over and go across the floor. It charges fast and will last a day and a half or two depending how much it's been used. It does go to sleep if no one is playing with it. They furnish you with an extra top and a fresh "rope." I really appreciate how much customer service is done with this item. I will watch for more of their items to purchase.

Buy 2 at a time for a fun experience
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
What’s better than 1 toy? Answer: 2 toys! I love using two at a time. More stimulation and fun! We use these to get all the energy out before nap time. They keep him occupied and running in two different directions. The rope part of the toy is the perfect size for him to grab onto. It came with a replacement for a wheel and rope and haven’t had to replace it yet. Toy has held up with daily play and still works perfectly.
