Variegated Calamondin Orange Tree (Citrus x citrofortunella mitis ‘Variegata’)

The famous Calamondin Orange has a new twist! Variegated cream and green foliage makes this a very desirable ornamental fruiting plant. But don’t be fooled, the small, juicy, sour oranges are also edible, and are often used for preserves or cooking. Fragrant flowers appear spring to summer and a heavy set of fruit follows, ripening in time for the holidays. The ripe fruit holds well on the plant adding to its decorative appeal. The variegation does slow its growth somewhat, but slower growth is desirable for container culture. This is a grafted plant that blooms and fruits sooner.
