Hi, Citrus Growers!
Excellent site! An ocean of interesting information about citrus plants!
Dear friends!
I've got a question. Does anybody know how long it will take a Calamondin seedling to begin bearing fruits? 5 years? 10 years? More?
P.S.
I know that it's better way to graft a calamondin branch to some citrus rootstock for making it bear much faster than the seedling.
P.P.S. I live in country with the climate that never permits us to grow citruses outdoors. So I've got a few citrus plants (calamondin, Navelina orange, Faustrimedin, lemon Lunario, citron "Buddha's hand" etc) growing in pots indoors. Some of them have been already bearing...

Welcome to the forum ingen. calomondins can begin to produce fruit in 4-6 years from seed.

Laaz!
Thank you a lot!!! Very Happy

One question more.
Is it your own calamondin seedling tree that began to bear at that age?
