Description for Ornamental Orange (Green Leaves)
Citrus trees grown as ornamental container plants may take up to five years to produce fruit. Container-grown ornamental orange trees are usually the dwarf varieties which grow to a height of 2 to 6 feet.
Limited root space has the effect of stunting tree growth even if it is a standard variety. Citrus trees are damaged at frost temperature but can be grown in wintertime indoors.

Caring for Ornamental Orange
- Pot the tree in a large container filled with a mixture of 1 part each potting soil, organic compost and per-lite or vermiculite.
- Give the tree plenty of room to spread out and establish a healthy root system. Replant container plants every few years to prevent roots from becoming root bound.
- Water the tree as needed to keep the soil moist but not wetAllow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering.
- Provide direct sunlight for at least several hours daily. Move the plants outdoors for a few hours daily in the spring, increasing the time outdoors until the tree can stay outdoors for the summer. Bring the tree indoors in the fall, before the first cold snap. Decrease the time outdoors slowly until the tree is acclimated to staying indoors.
- Fertilize your calamondin orange with a citrus formula or a slow-release formula specifically for acid loving plants during the growing season.
- Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength during the winter months.
- Inspect the foliage regularly and before bringing the tree in for the fall. Treat insect infestations chemically, following the directions on the package.
- Prune your calamondin orange tree only as needed to remove dead or diseased branches. Pinch back water sprouts or spurs that grow from the trunk or roots.
