    Calamansi

    Please please please can anyone tell me where I can get a regular supply of Calamansi fruit. Fresh if possible.

    My wife used to drink it back home in PI and can't find it anywhere here in UK. Its not bad as a cold and flu cure and a cure for upset stomachs, so if anyone can help please advise.

    You can lemon instead of calamansi or sometimes there's lime in supermarket
    the green round thing but the skin is thicker than the Philippine calamansi but its thesame lime.

    Ask your relative to send some mature dry seeds for you to plant. Sow the seeds if it will germinate or not but you have to so that in summer time when the temperature is warm or hot cause it helps the germination faster. Buy small pot and put compost in it,and cover it.And be sure to put it in the greenhouse. when its growing big, transfer it to a permanent big pot and place in conservatory don't put outside cause it will die and train the plantlike
    a bonzai plant.
    Regards,

    Have to disagree.
    Calamansi has a taste all of its own IMO.

    Do what my fiance did. He chanced upon gabi and calamansi for sale in one asian store in Bristol. He had half and he planted the rest. The pots are on the window sill. I'm amazed they're still alive.

    Maybe worth checking your local china town. We went to londons and while waiting to see the new bond flim at lecister square we walked up a side road in to china. The shops there have lemon grass,tarmind, pak choi and millions of other things the wife required they may well have calamansi as well im not sure.

    i know calamansi juice in a bottle is avaiable from our local phill store but nothing beats the real fruit.
