I'm looking for fresh calamondins and have been redirected all over the www without avail. Is there any retail fruit available in the US?

How much do you want?
I have one tree but not enough to sell a lot.
PM me if you want.

And more at one time. But this tree bears fruit all year round.
You should plant one .

Occasionally(seasonally?), Asian grocery stores carry them. Also, some Hispanic grocery stores may have them also. Last time I saw them at a local Asian store, they were $4.98 per pound. Best bet is to grow your own. The plants are cheap($12 to $20). We have three of them, 1 in a 3 gallon pot, and 2 in a 5 gallon pot. One of ones in a 5 gallon pot alone is sufficient to keep us happy for use of the fruits as condiment for our meals. The other two have not been as productive, but they come in handy when we have a party.
