Average outdoor weekly temperature is 33.6F. The greenhouse average weekly temperature is 51.5F and its thermostat was set around 45F. Today I've bumped the thermostat up to 55F to try and get some of the greenhouse trees to flower/grow. |

This calomondin arrived damaged (upper part snapped in half). Four Winds did reach out to me, but I shoved it back together, wrapped it with plastic ribbon, and while nothing has died the tree has been slower to grow than its brother. |

Motivation to get a Calamondin is because I enjoy calamansi lime canned drinks from the asian/indian markets. I want to grow a lot of Calamondin limes for 'calamansi margaritas' as an alternative to the common mexican/persian lime margaritas. |
