Calamansi
2+ years old Air Layered from fruiting mother plant. Most plants has fruited or ready to fruit now.
This is the real Asian calamansi or Filipino Citrus plant. They are slightly different than the cross bred calamansi and has a distinguished smell and an intense lime taste. Plants are well established most already producing flowers/fruit at the moment.
Calamansi is a small citrus fruit, with a bright orange flesh and a peel that goes from green to orange as it ripens. It tastes sour with a hint of sweetness, like a mix between a lime and a mandarin. It has a distinctive aroma – citrusy and floral.
One of the most popular citrus and widely used in Asian cuisine, Calamansi can be found in fruit juices, and as a garnish for other well-known meals in Asian cuisine.
Air layered calamansi plants will produce fruit much earlier than the seedling grown equivalent.

Plant looks healthy and matured. Started fruiting too. I like that the plant arrived in a carefully packaged box. Much appreciated
I stumbled upon this website by chance and was surprised by how many tropical plants are available here in NZ.
Got this Calamansi plant in Mar/23 and it's Sep/23 now. I've kept her inside in a north facing window. She hasn't grown much in winter but she's budding & fruiting her heart out.
An amazing plant, wish I could buy more from Exotica but in already out of space 🙂
Many thanks 🙏
Looks like a strong, healthy plant, covered in fruit and flowers already. Potted into a 50l pot with potting mix and pumice for drainage.
Was very excited to get the calamansi and has settled plant in glasshouse in prep for winter.
Our calamansi tree arrived in brilliant packaging and the quality of the tree was great - lush green and already laden with fruit.
