I have a very large calamondin tree in my backyard that was here when we moved in. When is the best time to pick the fruit? Should it be turning yellow, or is it okay to leave it until it turns orange?
Thanks!
Teresa

Bought a calamondin tree from Lowe’s in Fl a mo ago.Nursery tag shows it was ISD treated(Imidacloprid soil drench).It is a systemic synthetic insecticide.Plant experts from Univ of FL advised me not to consume any fruit from the tree for the next two years. ISD treated plants retain the chemical for over 12 mo. To ward off pests, they recommend regular water sprays all over the tree,including the undersides of the leaves.Citrus trees available in home stores usually come from reputable nurseries but almost all have some form of insecticide treatment.(= healthy foliage,pest free look)

I’m in Florida and I just bought a calamondin tree at WalMart. They had them with other citrus trees. I had to look at the tag to find the ‘calamondin.’ My sis has 2 kalamansi trees and it thrives really well here in FL. I can’t wait for mine to start bearing fruit. :) I believe Home Depot or Lowe’s carries them too.

I want to know where I can purchase a calamansi tree here in Houston. I found one previously but that nursery is now closed. The other one I had, I killed because I forgot to water it over the winter.

I lived in the Philippines for 18 months, bought calamansi everyweek at the fresh markets. Now I live in Colorado, but want to buy two trees, which I could have inside near picture windows. The sunshine in Colorado is great, and I think they would thrive inside. Where can I buy the (preferably dwarf) size? Thank you Donna Shepherd kdshep2@yahoo.com

I live in New York ( Long Island -zone 7 ) I own 3 calamansi plant . i used to have 5 but 2 died. The 3 plant so far is now
3-5 years old but I managed to keep it 2-21/2 feet long. Calamondin is an excellent indoor plant and I agree don’t overwater. In fact i work long hours and away at home most of the time that i only water them once or twice a week and so far and they are bearing fruit all year. I love my calamansi fruit not just for it’s purpose but also for sentimental reason. It reminds me of my hometown in the Philippines. it connects me perpetually to my roots . for those who live in colder region like Northeast ( New York for instant )- keep calamondin plant indoor beginning late october- when temperature start to fall 30-40 degree . wenterize them before bringing them indoor for them to survive. calamondin is prone to bugs – so I applied some insecticidal indoor powder and incorporate it to the soil. I also spray clean the leaves with INSECTICIDAL SOAP THE DAY BEFORE AND THE FOLLOWING DAY -i SPRAY WITH PLANT OIL . THIS PROCEDURE AS CUMBERSOME AS IT IS ENSURE THAT THEY WILL SURVIVE WINTER . THEN I PUT THEM IN THE SUNNY LOCATION IN MY LIVING ROOM .THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND SMELL FRAGRANT DURING WINTER TIME. LATE APRIL AFTER THE LAST FROST IS OVER – i BRING THEM OUTDOOR UNTIL OCTOBER.ONCE THEY ARE OUTDOOR – i APPLY FERTILIZER DURING EARLY SPRING AND SOON THEY START BLOOMING FRESH NEW FLOWER. SEEM LIKE A LOT OF WORK BUT IT IS REALLY A PLEASURE AND SATISFYING SPECIALLY WHEN ONE ENJOY THE FRUIT ALL YEAR ROUND.
