Experience the delightful surprise of the Citrus Calamondin, known as 'agri-dulce' for its distinct sweet and sour flavour. These small, juicy oranges offer a flavour that starts bitter before revealing a delicious sweetness, set against glossy, dark green foliage. Clusters of tiny, white flowers fill the air with fragrance year-round. Fruits may take up to a year to ripen but are worth the wait, keeping for up to two weeks once picked.

Perfect for adding Mediterranean charm to conservatories or patios, this easy-to-grow citrus is valued for its looks and culinary uses. The small, ornamental oranges, about 2.5cm, resemble seedless tangerines with bitter flesh and sweet peel, ideal for preserves, marinades, and baking. The Calamondin is self-fertile. While it can survive brief periods below freezing, it's best grown in containers and moved indoors to a bright, frost-free location from autumn to spring.

How to Grow

• Light: Full sun.
• Temperature: Protect from frost; move indoors to a bright, frost-free location from autumn to spring.
• Watering: Water regularly when in growth, keeping compost moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter.
• Feeding: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
• Humidity: Maintain good humidity, especially indoors, by misting leaves.
