Planting & Care
Calamondin trees must have well-draining soil and will not tolerate locations with standing water. Choose another location or create a raised bed 3 x 3 or mound your planting at least 12 to 18 inches above grade if poor drainage is suspected. Requires full sun, with at least 8 hours a day favoring the morning sun. Water regularly when getting established. Mulch to insure that roots remain cool and to retain surface moisture. Tree grows into a densely branched, full rounded crown. Calamondin trees will reach 10 feet outdoors but can easily be kept lower' with regular pruning. The flowers are white and very fragrant. Will tolerate more cold than most citrus.
