Do those Calamondin oranges fruit? How big is your pot?
I have 3 Calamondins in 5 gallon pots that fruit profusely. My wife cannot get enough of the fruit. We use them for condiment/garnish with steamed or baked fish, pancit (chow mein), as seasoning in lieu of lemon, add to soy sauce as dip, and for refreshing cold lemonade or soothing hot lemonade for sore throat and colds.

My 2 Sapodilla were in 10 gallon pots and the fruit, albeit, not very much. But that was the first year we had them. The guavas we had 3 years ago, were also in 10 gallon pots. 2 or 3 of them fruited. 2 Carambolas bloomed but did not develop fruits due to onset of the cold weather.
