{"product_id":"calamondin","title":"Calamondin","description":"\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCalamondin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Calamondin is a natural hybrid of the kumquat and the mandarin. It most likely originated in southern China and has been grown for centuries throughout Southeast Asia. In the Philippines, where it is called calamansi, it is the country’s most important citrus fruit and a daily kitchen staple. It was brought to Florida in the early 1900s, where it quickly became popular as an ornamental and container plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe fruit is small, about one inch across, round, and bright orange when ripe, though it is often picked green for cooking. The thin rind is sweet and edible like a kumquat’s, while the juice is very sour and aromatic, with a flavor somewhere between lime and tangerine. Calamondin juice is used much like lime juice: squeezed over fish, noodles, and rice dishes, mixed into marinades and dipping sauces, or sweetened for calamansi juice and marmalade. The tree has small, glossy leaves and a dense, upright shape, and fragrant white blossoms appear several times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt North Florida Citrus Nursery, our Calamondin trees are a favorite for their compact size, cold toughness, and nearly year-round fruiting. They thrive in the ground or in containers on a patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTree Size (as shipped)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24–36 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMature Tree Size (10 yrs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6–12 feet tall, 4–8 feet wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHarvest Season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYear-round, heaviest fall to winter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeeds Per Fruit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFew to several\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrafting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrafted – Standard Rootstock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare Needs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade, well-drained soil, regular watering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCold Tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18–22°F (hardy)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing quirk:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tree often carries flowers, green fruit, and ripe fruit at the same time, which makes it as ornamental as it is productive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Florida Citrus Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67689396961465,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/2708\/4729\/files\/calamondin.jpg?v=1791731902","url":"https:\/\/www.northfloridacitrusnursery.com\/products\/calamondin","provider":"North Florida Citrus Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
