calamansi tree
The fruit of this citrus tree look like little mandarins. This is not surprising, as the Calamondin is a cross between the mandarin and the kumquat. The fruits ripen well in our European climate. They are more for ornamental use than for consumption.

care tips
To thrive and produce fruit, this citrus tree requires a warm and sunny environment. It should be placed in a spot with direct sunlight or bright artificial light, and temperatures should be maintained above 10°C (48°F). Avoid exposing the plant to cold temperatures, wind, dryness, or frost, as it is sensitive to these conditions. In the summer, water the plant occasionally to promote fruit growth and development, allowing the fruit to ripen and turn yellow and orange.
health
The citrus fruits produced by these trees are safe for humans to handle, but their primary value lies in their ornamental appeal rather than being eaten. Despite their small size, these oranges are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, making them a nutritious and attractive addition to any setting.
