Chinese Bush Orange Plant

Calamondin limes are small fruits, averaging 2 to 5 centimeters in diameter, and are globular to oblate in shape. The skin is smooth, thin, glossy, and taut, covered in many small, prominent oil glands, and ripens from green, yellow, to orange with maturity. Depending on the climate and region grown, the fruit may also remain green when ripe. Underneath the surface, the flesh is orange, aqueous, soft, and divided into 7 to 9 segments by thin, pale orange membranes. The flesh also encases many small, cream-colored seeds. Calamondin limes are aromatic with a bright, floral scent and have a tart, pleasantly sour, and acidic citrus taste. It is important to note that both the flesh and peel are edible, and the peel contains a tangy, slightly sweeter taste than the flesh.
