Calamondin trees are small, bushy evergreens that can attain heights of 10-20 feet high, but are usually much shorter in stature. Small spines are apparent on the branches of growing calamondin trees, which bear fabulous orange-scented blossoms that become small orange fruit (1 inch in diameter resembling a tangerine.) The segmented fruit is seedless and extremely acidic.
Here is a pair at the front entrance of Danielle Rollins' Palm Beach home.

They can be grown indoors with good sunlight or outdoors in zones 8 - 11.
My front entrance has blue and white tiles and a pair of vintage blue and white Chinese garden stools. Since it is completely protected and therefore does not get direct sunlight, I decided to find a pair of faux ones that will go in a pair of blue and white Chinese fish bowls flanking the double French doors.
I found these and just ordered them and should have them later this week.

I will post pictures when I get the pair. These are meant for indoors, but will be completely protected in my covered entrance. They would also be great in a sunroom, porch, entryway, breakfast room, and so many other spots in the home.
