Citrus madurensis has also been known as x Citrofortunella microcarpa for a long time. This is a relatively compact citrus with small, elongated leaves and slightly flattened fruits, similar to a small mandarin - a cross between kumquat and mandarin. It often flowers all year round and can be covered with small orange fruits which are great for making jams. The calamondin is one of the very few citrus that tolerates a heated room.

It grows perfectly in a pot, reaching up to 2m in height within 10-12years and is one of a small number of citrus varieties that can brave the British winter with a bit of protection.

We have excellent quality, 8cm tall plants for sale.

The intended main use of this plant is to grow food for human consumption. We always recommend further research to learn the different ways in which the food source can be prepared and consumed.
