March 2015. The two weeks of Chinese New Year have just finished and sadly the lovely orange trees (Calamondin)get thrown away! So, as I have done before, I have retrieved one to keep. The oranges have to be thrown away as the growers apparently use lots of growth hormone to make the tree fruit :( Calamondin oranges (we call them calamansi limes but they are actually oranges) is a citrofortunella hybrid between mostly like mandarin oranges and kumquats (fortunella).
Freshly retrieved plant - in a very healthy state!
