    Seed-grown calamondins may not grow true to type, or they may produce fruit that is inferior to the parent plant.

    Also, seed-grown calamondins take two years to set fruit whereas those grown from cuttings are capable of bearing fruit in their first year.
    Has your tree had a dormancy period?

    Like most living things, calamondin trees respond to environmental cues to determine the best time for rest and regeneration. The propagation process often disrupts this internal rhythm because it relies on artificially enhanced growing conditions, which may cause the plant to go dormant. Although it may seem counterproductive, one way to break the plant's dormancy and promote fast growth is to induce a state of stress. Withhold all water until the leaves begun to curl up, then water deeply so that the entire root ball is saturated. Water deeply whenever the top 2 inches of soil dry out. Within two months, the tree will produce a flush of leaves and flowers.

    Citrus trees need a significant amount of sunlight to bloom.
    Water your plants sparingly in the early winter to induce blooming. Severe drought prevents blooming, but a small amount of water stress helps the blooms develop in the spring. When the weather turns coolest, usually between December and February, water your citrus trees once every two weeks, or whenever the soil feels dry an inch below the surface. Begin watering once a week as it gets closer to spring.

    Yes, while cooler temperatures will stop the growth of the tree, and it will enter a period of dormancy. They can survive temperatures just a little lower than -5c so you will be ok to leave them out. If you are still concerned, then I would advise wrapping a blanket around the on cooler nights.
