Description

calamondin lemon tree Citrus × microcarpaCitrus microcarpa Calamondin Citrus microcarpa, commonly known as calamondin or calamansi, is a compact evergreen citrus with glossy foliage, scented flowers and small orange fruit. Its branching crown stays manageable in a pot, while mature plants can carry flowers, green fruit and ripe fruit during the same season when light and watering remain steady. The fruits are small, round and aromatic, with a thin orange peel and sharp acidic juice.

Citrus × microcarpa – Calamondin

Citrus × microcarpa, commonly known as calamondin or calamansi, is a compact evergreen citrus with glossy foliage, scented flowers and small orange fruit. Its branching crown stays manageable in a pot, while mature plants can carry flowers, green fruit and ripe fruit during the same season when light and watering remain steady.

The fruits are small, round and aromatic, with a thin orange peel and sharp acidic juice. Calamondin is both an ornamental potted tree and a culinary acid citrus, especially for seasoning, drinks, marinades and preserves when the plant has been grown and treated as an edible crop.

Calamondin orange fruit and dense crown

  • Growth habit: Compact evergreen citrus with glossy leaves and a naturally branching crown.
  • Flowers: White scented flowers followed by small round orange fruit.
  • Fruit: Sharp acidic juice and aromatic peel, with calamondin and calamansi both used as common names.
  • Fruit profile: Small orange fruit with sour aromatic pulp and thin peel.
  • Pot habit: Compact citrus for strong light, seasonal warmth and protected wintering above about 13°C.

Small orange fruit and dense branching

Citrus × microcarpa is an accepted hybrid citrus in the Rutaceae family involving kumquat and mandarin ancestry, commonly linked with Citrus japonica and Citrus reticulata. Older names include × Citrofortunella microcarpa, × Citrofortunella mitis and Citrus × mitis.

The plant forms slender woody shoots, oval glossy leaves and starry white flowers. Fruit ripens from green to orange and usually stays much smaller than a mandarin. The pulp is sour, so the fruit is mainly used for juice and flavour.

Calamondin container routine

  • Light: Give very bright light with direct sun where possible. Strong light improves flowering and fruiting.
  • Water: Water deeply once the upper part of the substrate has dried. Keep moisture more even during warm active growth, then water more carefully in winter.
  • Substrate: Use a free-draining citrus substrate with mineral particles. Calamondin roots need both moisture and air, especially in a container.
  • Wintering: Keep bright and protected above about 13°C. Mild winter temperatures need enough light and measured watering.
  • Feeding: Use citrus fertiliser from spring into autumn. Regular nutrition keeps foliage green and improves flower and fruit formation in a long-term pot.
  • Dry air: Heated dry air can increase spider mite pressure and leaf drop. A modest humidity lift plus regular foliage checks lowers winter pest pressure.
  • Flowering under cover: Flowers are self-fertile. Indoors, gently brushing open flowers can improve fruit set where insect activity is low.
  • Repotting: Repot when the pot is well rooted, moving up by one modest pot size. Oversized pots stay wet too long around citrus roots.
  • Pruning: Prune lightly after fruiting or before strong spring growth. Remove shoots from below the graft point if they appear.

Calamondin foliage and crop checks

  • Leaf drop after moving: Check light, draughts, dry air and watering changes. Calamondin reacts quickly when moved from bright outdoor conditions into warmer, darker winter conditions.
  • Yellowing foliage: Inspect the rootball first. Cold wet substrate can damage roots, while pale new growth can point to nutrient shortage in an exhausted mix.
  • Flower drop: Low light, dry air, heat stress or irregular watering can interrupt fruit set. Stabilise the growing conditions before increasing fertiliser.
  • Small or shedding fruit: Young plants may reduce part of their crop naturally. Keep watering even and avoid swings between dry and saturated substrate.
  • Sticky stems or leaves: Look along stems and leaf backs. Remove scale, aphids or mealybug early because honeydew builds quickly on glossy citrus foliage.

Calamondin fruit peel, pets and name

Calamondin peel, leaves and stems contain aromatic oils and psoralens. Clear dropped fruit, loose leaves and cut stems where pets can reach them, and handle small thorns carefully during pruning or repotting.

The generic name Citrus is tied to Latin citron naming and the wider group of aromatic citrus plants. The hybrid sign in Citrus × microcarpa reflects its hybrid origin, while microcarpa means small-fruited. Calamansi is widely used in the Philippines for the fruit and juice.

Perfect fit
Size: 2023-26 CRV 1.5L Gas
This filter set was a perfect fit for my vehicle and installed without any issues. Everything lined up exactly as expected, which made the replacement quick and straightforward. The quality feels comparable to the original filters, and it is a great option if you are looking for a direct replacement without overpaying at the dealership. Overall, this is a reliable and easy upgrade for routine maintenance. I would use this again.

Save money, buy non oem
Size: 2023-26 CRV 1.5L Gas
This Engine Cabin Air Filter Set is designed specifically for Honda CRV 1.5L Gas models from 2023 through 2026 and Honda Civic 1.5L Gas models from 2022 through 2026. It is important to note that this filter set does NOT fit the 2.0L engine variants. The filters replace the OEM part numbers 17220-64A-A00 and 80291-T5R-A01, ensuring a proper fit and function. That being said, however, the AIR FILTER does fit the 2017-2021 CRV

Same quality as oem
Size: 2023-26 CRV 1.5L Gas
This is same quality as oem. Very much similar. The only difference is that this cabin filter has activated carbon which reduces the cabin unpleasant odor. Very easy to install. The price is affordable. I save money on this doing DIY.

Worked perfect for my Jeep Grand Cherokee L
Pleasantly surprised with the quality. It seemed better than the original filter that I took out of my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Seems like it’ll last a while and I really like the charcoal addition. Has worked well so far and car smells clean.

Quality filter
Nice filter, fits perfect in the WL model (not the WK!) I will buy this one again, far superior to the OEM filter from the dealer!
