Calamansi

I don't now if there calamansi trees in the U.S. because tourists who come here claim that they haven't seen one before. Calamansi is like a little lemon, and the zest is used to add flavor to dishes. The fruit is also very rich in Vitamin C. Also, the flowers smell really good. Here's a picture of our calamansi tree

About 15 years ago a horticultrists named Dr. Jerry Parsons made a big promotion of this plant here in south Texas. It was supposed to be cold hardy and a great little citrus fruit. People to this day are still waiting for this plant to bloom and bear fruit. The plant grows extremely well and makes a great hedge but it does not bear fruit.for some unknown reason

It's so pretty! To be honest, it's the first time when I see a calamansi tree. Do they grow big? I've always loved lemons, I add lemon juice to most of my beverages, and I'd love to try a calamansi fruit too. It would be something completely new to me
