The Calamondin Orange tree produces 1" orange colored fruit that is a cross between a mandarin orange and kumquat, and it is originally from China. The fruit is slightly sour, making them more like limes and lemons in taste and use. The peels are edible, and the fruit is often eaten whole. Calamondin oranges are very healthy containing fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin A.

I have a calamondin tree in my backyard garden that is producing fruit. There's no reason to have a fruit tree in your garden unless you plan on eating some of the harvest. Let me show you how to make a tasty calamondin orange marmalade that you can do from a calamondin tree in your own backyard garden!
