This Stuff is Free Too:
small, very round citrus fruit also known as: aldonisis, calamunding, Chinese orange, calamondin orange, Panama orange, kalamundin, calamundi.
Scientific name: Citrofortunella microcarpa
Very easy to grow. The tree, which is often trained as a bonsai, blooms all year-round, thus filling the air with the aroma of citrus blossom. once they are in the ground, will flourish into a taller size plant. Mine are in the ground and are easily twelve feet tall and produce fruits all year long here in Central Florida.
Makes a REFRESHING DRINK that tastes much like lemonade: squeeze and strain the juice of several calamansi, add cold water, and sugar or honey to taste. It’s a superb source of VITAMIN C and has a light, yet unique flavor equivalent to freshly made lemonade with a tangerine essence.
The many uses of calamansi make this fruit a wonder fruit. Calamansi may be squeezed on iced tea, seafoods and meat, to enhance iron absorption. The calamansi juice is primarily valued for making acid beverages. It is often incorporated like lime or lemon juice to make gelatin salads and custard pie. Calamansi juice is also used as a MEAT TENDERIZER and adds flavor to the dishes.
The calamansi fruit also has many MEDICINAL USES. The fruit juice is also applied to the scalp after shampooing to eliminate itching and promote hair growth. Rubbing calamansi juice on insect bites banishes itching and irritation. It bleaches freckles and helps to clear up acne. The most popular medicinal use of calamansi is when taken orally as a cough remedy. The fruit juice is slightly diluted and drunk warm. Aside from the food and medicinal uses of calamansi, the fruit juice is used to BLEACH ink stains from fabrics and serve as a body deodorant.
The many uses of the calamansi fruit prove the truth behind the passage "small but terrible".

solaya: thanks for the info. it's very helpful of you. but i think they are more concern of the pests. whereas, i am only sending seeds which you can grow as indoor plants or bonsai trees (that fruits perfectly well) and which you can monitor and manage more properly. And afterwards grow outside after the ban is lifted up. LOL. Seriously, i've already sent these seeds to some buyers from CA and there were no problems so far.
vince_paul: thank you. sure i will post more. =)
i think they will be concern if the agricultural crop will be coming from outside the US. They're pretty strict about it and i knew that. Since the seeds will be coming from Florida, USA...i'm pretty sure we'll all be safe. thanks. =)
