Hello Gardeners,

I need your help to find out more about his orange variety. I may have the spelling wrong here but the nursery owner calls it a "kingri malta". I saw some plants today with fruits ready to harvest. The size is about the same as a bearss lime or a meyer lemon. The leaves are small though. Does anyone have this growing? Whats the taste like? Thanks

Ahmed

Thanks Umar. Considering the fruit size, would have loved to grow this in my garden if it was sweet and edible.

I did the pickling with Calamondin orange. Few relatives kinda liked it but i didnt enjoy it. Dont have a clue about the jam making process.
