Calamondin
Calamondin The Calamondin is known as the miniature orange. The flesh is orange, juicy and acid, with a fine lime-orange flavor. Because of this, it is often grouped with the limes. It is grown mainly as an outstanding ornamental, which is often trained as a bonsai. It will bloom year-round; filling the air with the aroma of citrus blossoms. Calamondin has flowers and fruits that often appear at the same time! The tree has upright branches with very few thorns and can grow up to 10 feet high. Calamondin provides a prolific fruit production, has a zesty acid juice, displays a handsome compact habit, and is outstanding in containers. Calamondin halves or quarters may be served with iced tea, seafood and meats, to be squeezed for the acid juice. The fruit can also be used for making acid beverages.

Peter's Honey Fig - Sale Price: $42.75 The Peter’s Honey Fig produces very sweet, shiny, high quality, and greenish yellow fruit when ripe. The fruit tastes syrupy and honey-like. This fig will melt in your mouth! Peter's Honey Fig is superb for fresh eating. These figs can be used for drying and canning too. It has good cold tolerance, but it requires a warm location with a southern exposure in order to ripen, especially in the maritime Northwest. In other words, it requires a sunny, hot exposure in cooler areas. If a fig is killed to the ground because of cold weather, it will come up with new growth when the weather warms up. An excellent way to get figs to produce ripe fruit in colder climates is to plant potted figs when the weather warms up. Plant the pot with the rim a few inches above ground level. Roots will go through the drain holes at the bottom of the pot and produce nutrients for the plant. When the leaves fall in late fall, dig the pot up and store inside. Replant again next spring. This tree thrives in full sun and in the South it ripens its first crop in May and a later crop in October and November. Peter's Honey Fig originated in Sicily. Sweet Fruit! |
