🍊 Citrus microcarpa 'Calamondin' — often called the Calamondin Orange or simply Miniature Orange Tree — is a delightful citrus plant that brings a Mediterranean feel into your home or garden. With its glossy leaves, fragrant blossoms, and bright fruits, it offers a beautiful blend of ornamental charm and culinary intrigue.

🌼 Flowering & Fruit
Throughout the warmer months, this citrus tree produces delicate white, star-shaped flowers with an exquisite fragrance. These blooms often appear alongside ripening fruit, creating a truly enchanting display. The small, round oranges are vibrant and glossy — more tart than sweet — and can be used in marmalades, dressings, or cocktails for an extra citrusy zing.

🌿 Foliage & Habit
The foliage is rich green, glossy, and evergreen, giving the plant a fresh, structured look all year round. With regular pruning and care, the Calamondin maintains a compact, bushy shape — ideal for patios, balconies, conservatories, or even bright indoor spaces.

📏 Height
At maturity, the plant can reach up to 1.5 meters if left to grow freely, but it’s often kept smaller through pruning. Upon arrival, it’s a compact and manageable size, perfect for starting your citrus-growing adventure.

💧 Care & Watering
This plant enjoys a sunny, sheltered position and thrives in well-drained soil. Water regularly during the growing season, especially in warm weather, but allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. In winter, reduce watering and keep it in a cool, bright place if indoors. A monthly citrus fertilizer during spring and summer will help keep it healthy and productive.

🌵 Thorns? Yes, like many citrus trees, Calamondin may have small thorns on its branches — nothing aggressive, but worth noting when pruning or handling.

👃 Fragrance
Absolutely — the sweet scent of its blossoms is one of its most appealing traits. It’s subtle but delightful, often catching you by surprise when you walk by.

⚠️ Note on Toxicity
While the fruit is edible, all citrus plants should be kept out of reach of pets — the leaves and peels may cause digestive upset if consumed in large quantities.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 60 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 19 cm.
