Calamansi / Calamondin - Citrofortunella microcarpa

Much thanks again to the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers for this donation a couple of years ago. Here is a Citrofortunella microcarpa part of the citrus family (Rutaceae) that was actually being thrown out and the TREE center was able to get it to this stage just two seasons later. Enjoy some fresh pics as we will be enjoying some fresh garnish, zest and hopefully we'll be able to harvest enough to make some juice.

Getting Started on Growing Cycle 2012

We're starting our garden beds this year with spinach and broccoli. Sweet Bellpeppers are starting indoors along with Eggplant seedlings.
We expect our first crop of Cavendish Bananas this season and possibly some Green Bananas (Plantains) as well. We just finished negotiating our tomato seeds and soy and will be started indoors this week and of course looking forward to the scent of our citrus representatives the Calamansi and Dwarf Orange.
See you soon with what we hope will be fruitful pictures!
