Re: Calimancy???

Hi, Nan,

You mean calamondins.  I used to live in the Phillipines and they're 
eaten a lot there but I'm pretty sure they're also grown in Florida 
and maybe in California.  I don't know about seed but I remembered 
seeing plants listed in the Logee's catalogue since I'd like to have 
one.   They're $6.50 each and here's what they have to say:

"Citrus x citrofortunella mitis.  "Calamondin" or "Panama Orange".
An abundant producer of tiny, fragrant flowers followed by small 
round orange fruit.  Often grown as an ornamental due to its fine 
holding quality." 

 Height is  1-3' and they can be grown indoors.  The bad news: the 
catalogue says CITRUS CANNOT BE SHIPPED TO CALIFORNIA.
But since you're in California,  a citrus producing state, I'd think 
you'd be able to buy it there.

Other interested parties can go to www.logees.com -- you can request 
a free catalogue there.  They have lots of great plants.  Nan,  maybe 
if you e-mail them they can tell you a California supplier.
