Calamondin
 

Lidl has Calamondin plants coming in this Thursday.

Wikipedia broadly describes them as a hybrid between a Mandarin and a
Kumquat, and as frost sensitive.

Anyone have experience of growing these, and how they perform compared to
lemon trees?

TIA

Yes, it's an ornamental orange with mini fruits about the size of a
kumquat but round, and not really edible. I grew one once for a few
years but it went the way of all citrus with me
