Looks like a calamondin to me. Not an orange tree. Why did you mother tell you not to eat the fruit? Calamondins are very sour, but they're certainly edible.

Thanks for the reply, Patty.

I have taken your suggestion and I'm currently looking into calamondins.

I am not quite sure why my mother told us not to eat the fruit. I always assumed that it wasn't edible, but over the years that theory never made sense to me. My most logical assumption is she simply didn't want us messing around with it.

My parents bought this on an anniversary trip within the first few years of their marriage, so it's more of a family member than anything else. I was nominated by family to care for it, so i figured it was time to find out as much information as possible about it.

That is one amazing plant to be over 40

But it does look like a calamondin
