And third year!

>

It is a delight to watch this little calamansi tree do its thing... and in a pot! It just chills, soaking up the sun, minding its own business, and BOOM... new green fruits like mini limes!

It started off as a year-old little plant, barely two feet tall. The calamansi plant had lush and healthy leaves when I got it, which gave me high hopes for it. It's got roots, it's got light, and it's got me, who checks on it like every day.

Every time I walk past it and see a tiny fruit forming, I imagine the tree is saying, "Hey, I'm still here, I am still growing. I am still doing my thing." And I can't help but smile (and maybe I say back to the tree, "Same here, buddy...same here!").

And so, this little calamansi tree in its humble pot keeps growing! It is not just a plant anymore. It is a quiet companion... a tiny triumph.

Watching my calamansi tree grow is like watching patience pay off. And it's a quiet kind of comfort.

Here is a write-up about calamansi limes:

Calamansi limes are a citrus fruit of the species Citrus x microcarpa, which are believed to be a hybrid of kumquats (Citrus japonica) and mandarin oranges (Citrus reticulata). They are sometimes also known as Philippine limes, Philippine lemons, or calamondin; the words calamansi and calamondin are sometimes spelled kalamansi and kalamondin, respectively. They're native to the Philippines as well as parts of Indonesia and China.

Calamansi limes are small fruits, usually measuring around an inch in diameter and weighing around 30 grams. They're round to slightly flattened. The skin of the fruit is shiny and thin, and can be eaten along with the rest of the fruit. Indeed, the skin is actually sweeter than the fruit itself. Calamansi limes are green when immature, turning a greenish orange and then finally fully orange as it ripens. But since it can take up to a year for calamansi to ripen, they are mostly used in their unripe state. The fruit itself is orange in color, even when the skins are still green, and consists of around seven to nine segments along with a number of cream-colored seeds. They are available year-round, although their peak season is from winter to early spring.
