Im trying to find a kalamansi fruit tree. Its native to the
phillipines.
I once knew a phillipine family who had a tree in Sydney and I remember
tasting one, quite a nice sweet lemon/lime. They have since moved, have
been looking ever since!

Could this be the same as a Calamondin?

Hi,

I think you mean Calamondrin comquat. Bunnings sell these every year.
They are a non edible comquat. Mainly for topiary and quiet
attractive.

I have a Calamondin. Bought it from Bunnings, easy enough to get. Very
'kumquat'-ish.
Awesome smelling blossoms.
