Calamondin is a member of the citrus family and can be grown anywhere its cousins are grown. This variety is not commercially planted, but it takes the raw edge off fish and, because of its miniature size, is used mainly as an ornamental plant.

This is the final in our series on trees that produce some of the most delicious fruits and can be grown right here in different parts of the island. We thank the Rural Agricultural Development Agency (RADA) for providing us with information on the trees, and we encourage everyone to get involved in the worldwide campaign to plant seven billion trees, one for each person on planet Earth.
