Calamondins are a bushy tree with dense foliage, making them ideal as a pot specimen, or pruned into a standard or topiary form. Tip pruning will encourage dense growth making them very effective as a semi-formal hedge or screen.

For a cumquat, the fruit can be quite large, up to golf ball in size. The fruit ripens in mid-winter, and is a bright orange colour, making a fabulous display against the green foliage. In warm climates throughout Asia the fruit may remain green. Branches with fruit are also used in floristry as they are highly ornamental.

Although the fruit can be eaten straight from the tree, it is very acidic and sour and is mainly used in preserves or in alcohol to make tasty brandies and liqueurs. It is used extensively throughout Asia.
