CALAMANSI
|
|
Calamansi or calamondin is a native
citrus that mostly used in everyday kitchen for juice
and flood flavor.
Although calamansi is a seasonal
fruit (particularly those which come from Batangas and
Mindoro where they bear fruits only during rainy
season), it could be induced to bear fruit when provided
with irrigation. During off-season fruiting, calamansi
can be sold even at P60 per kilo.

The Luz calamansi is a
fast grower, prolific and is much juicier than the
native variety. Moreover, it has only two seeds
compared to native calamansi which has 12 seeds.
The Luz calamansi variety is ideal for container
growing and bears fruits continuously throughout
the year.

For backyard planting, the Tomboy
calamansi which has big fruits could be planted even in
cans or plastic containers.
