Mini Orange Tree

I had a lovely surprise this morning - a Mothering Sunday gift from my son of a mini orange tree. About 50cms high and laden with round fruits some yet to ripen.

Here it is:

I want to look after it really well but there were no care instructions with it - not even the species so rather hard to look up.

Any thoughts/advice. I have put the original pot inside an old decorative pot with a good layer of gravel in the base and it is in the verandah, along with Anansi the spider plant and my gorgeous azaleia now three years old.

That looks like a Calamondin to me

These are the instructions, though I have never grown one myself

Nice gift!


ETA: despite what eHow says, I'd happily eat the existing crop of fruit!
