This Calamondin Orange Tree (Citrus mitis) is a compact, fruiting citrus tree specially cultivated for life in UK homes and patios. Grown in a generous 5-litre nursery pot, it arrives established and ready to thrive. Each tree is grown from strong rootstock in specialist citrus compost, ensuring it has all the nutrients and drainage it needs for healthy development.
The tree features glossy, evergreen foliage, providing attractive greenery all year round. In spring and summer, clusters of highly fragrant white blossoms appear, filling the air with the unmistakable scent of citrus. These flowers develop into small, round edible oranges, which typically ripen from autumn through winter. While tart to the taste, they’re perfect for homemade marmalades, zesty cocktails, or decorative garnishes.
The Citrus Orange Tree is supplied in a 5-litre growers’ pot and measures approximately 60–70cm in height, including the pot, upon arrival. With care, it can grow to a mature height of 1.5 metres, with a spread of around 1 metre. Its compact, bushy form makes it perfect for pots on patios, sunny balconies, or indoors on a bright windowsill. The tree’s evergreen leaves offer a full, lush appearance all year, while its seasonal blossoms and fruit provide ever-changing visual interest. Its manageable size makes it easy to move indoors during colder months, ensuring long-term health and productivity.
