The Calamondin, also known as Calamansi tree, is a popular citrus tree that produces delicious fruits rich in vitamin C. It is often grown as an ornamental tree and is commonly cultivated in the Philippines. This citrus tree is an attractive green decoration for your home and also bears beautiful white flowers. The tree usually starts producing fruit at the age of about three years. Calamansi trees need fertilizers to stay healthy and produce flowers and fruits. These trees are heavy feeders, so you can get away with feeding them with a slow-release fertilizer or Dynamic Lifter up to 4 times a year. Pruning is important for maintaining the shape and size of your Calamondin Tree and promoting healthy growth. Prune your tree in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. A culinary tip: Fry the whole fruit, skin, and all in coconut oil to serve as a side dish with curry.
