Variegated Calamondin
Product Description: Variegated Calamondin
Tart, Miniature Orange Popular in Thai Cooking
The Variegated Calamondin produces fragrant blooms that are followed by tart, petite, orange fruit, like its Calamondin cousin. These 1″ miniature orange-like fruits have a strong tart flavor that is often used in Thai cooking; used in the place of lemon.
This immature fruit is strikingly green and yellow striped. Its variegated, clean handsome foliage, with a compact habit, makes it suitable for indoors or patio containers.
It prefers full sun, near a sunny window or under a grow light indoors. The Variegated Calamondin makes a nice landscape addition as a hedge or screen. The flowers set in spring time, and this tree can then be pruned to a desired shape.
If you live in a colder climate, simply plant them in a container. Bring your tree indoors near a sunny window, and let the intoxicating citrus scent brighten your home during cold winter days.
