Calamindino Citrus, also known as Calamansi or Philippine Lime, is a small and highly fragrant citrus fruit that is commonly used in Filipino cuisine. It is a hybrid between a kumquat and a mandarin orange, and produces small, tangy and juicy fruits that are packed with vitamin C.
The best position for growing Calamindino Citrus is in a sunny and sheltered spot, ideally in a warm and humid location. It can be grown in pots or containers, or in well-drained soil in a protected area of the garden.
Calamindino Citrus can be planted at any time of the year, but the ideal time is during the spring or summer months, when temperatures are warmer and there is more sunlight. The plant should be watered regularly, but not over-watered, as this can lead to root rot.
Harvesting time for Calamindino Citrus is typically during the winter months, when the fruit is fully ripe and ready to be picked. The fruit should be harvested when it is still firm, but has turned a bright orange colour.
To ensure healthy growth and a good crop, it is important to feed Calamindino Citrus regularly with a citrus fertiliser. This should be done every 2-3 months during the growing season, from spring to autumn. This will help to promote healthy growth and ensure a bountiful harvest of delicious and fragrant Calamindino Citrus fruits.
