FRUIT OF THE WEEK - ACID ORANGE

My front balcony look so colorful this week.
The orange, yellow and yellowish green looks so dominant.



My acid orange (Citrofortunella mitis) is full of fruits.... over loaded...
Common names include calamonding, calamandarin, golden lime, Panama orange, Chinese orange or calamondin.

This fruit is so unique. 
The peel have a sweet taste, but the pulp is quite sour and high in vitamin C.

Acid orange fruit is grown primarily as an ornamental plant in gardens, and in containers. 
The plant is especially attractive when the fruits are present.
The little fruits have a little size, just 25 - 35 mm in diameters.
