How much longer do I have before this orange is ripe?

8 years ago

This orange and 9 other oranges started growing in June after all of my other oranges fell off. I’m surprised at how fast it has grown. How much bigger will it get before it’s ripe?

What kind of orange is it? Oranges ripen at different times depending on the variety. If you know the variety, take a look at this chart from Four Winds Growers to see when yours will be ready.

I’m sorry I forgot to mention the type. It’s a Calamondin Orange.

The calamondin is listed under "other interesting varieties".

I see that. Thanks! But I just see it lists the height of the tree not the size of the fruit.

You may have to Google that.

Calamondins aren't normally eaten... The flavour isn't the best. The calamondins stay relatively small. I've seen some fully orange slightly bigger than yours and others that are double the size.

Ah okay so it depends... I like them. They taste pretty good to me. :)
