My calamondins are starting to change colorsa but the fruit are still a lot smaller than they were on the tree when I bought it. once the color change happens, do they grow at all or is that about it?

Pretty exciting, its my first fruit that I grew!!

That's about it. Sometimes it puzzles me that from the same branch, some fruits remain pea sized until they ripen and fall off. At that size, some of the fruits would amazingly have one regular sized seed, and so you could imagine how much juice would I really get. Other fruits on the same branch grew bigger however, to the size of quarters.

Either way, I'm still excited to be getting my first fruit. Hoping to get at least a couple seeds out of each fruit as I have someone intereted in the seeds. but, either way, no worries as there are 200+ fruit still tiny and of a few larger sizes plus its also in full bloom. Never saw a tree so crazy on trying to fruit!

The size of citrus fruits has a lot to do with the size of the tree and the amount of fruit currently on the tree. Your choices are: 1.) thin the fruit and generally get larger size fruit, or 2). do not thin the fruit and get more but smaller fruit. In either case Calamondins are small sized fruit. - Millet
