My parents had one of these back in the seventies. It grew quite well for five or ten years when left outside in the bright summer sun and taken inside in the winter. We had a very very sunny window. My parents were good enough gardeners but not perfect. This was in Minnesota, much farther North than upstate New York, so don't worry about that aspect. Thank you for helping me revisit my childhood. I haven't seen one of these in years. Calamondin was one of my favorite words as a child.

Calamansi! 😃 It grows like a weed in the Philippines. It fruits non-stop year round with the right treatment. You can get 2kg of fruit for 1$ It makes a really nice juice like lemonade but with calamansi and is even better with honey ❤ They are used when green. It is a common juice drink but also used in seasonings with soy sauce on meats and feeesh. Growing lemons here in the ground is hard cuz they don't seem to like the wetness. But they grow well in pots 😀

Hi, so do you think it's best to pick an extra dry place to plant it if considering putting it in the ground?

Beautiful Calamansi! I am growing one here in Germany, loves the summers outside in the garden and of course I have it inside in my conservatory in the winters! Such a cool plant and great for all kinds of cooking dishes! Thanks for sharing!

We had a huge one of these in south Florida so sour but smelled great definitely decorative and you can eat them I guess if you like to shock your tastebuds. i prefer sour oranges for cooking as far as kumquats yes please especially for cheesecake. another fruiting subtropic/tropical is Loquat or Japanese plum tree looks great in a planter and require some pruning I just love the foliage.

Vou pedir meu neto para interpretar! Eu plantei tangerina no copinho descartável, nasceu! Vou colocar em um vaso grande quando ficar maior. 😂 Espero colher tangerina, pois nós colhemos o que plantamos! ❤❤❤

What luck! I damn near killed mine when I forgot to water it before vacation 😅 but it came back from a stump 🥳 Definitely a favorite in Filipino cuisine!

Oh yeah…you were definitely into school using words such as “vector for other plants.”😂 I’m digging the vocab usage. Btw, you’re getting ‘cooked’ up there; shoulders are mad-red!

You can eat calamondin skin it's slightly sweet. I also wait until they are fully golden and slightly soft. Roll them in your hand to release the oils in the rind and enjoy.

I tried to eat the skin bc I have many other sweet kumquats but the calamansi skin was bitter to my taste. The juice is a very good.

Commercial potted citrus trees prone to have chlorosis (usually they are grown in bark or peat based mix). Any iron fertilizer will help to mitigate this problem.
