CLEMENTINE DE NULES - last update 10/27/2019

Clementine de Nules Mandarin is self-fertile, but the fruit crop will be larger if the tree is planted with a second tree.

Citrus clementina

This is the most widely grown Clementine in Spain. Small to medium-size, glossy red-orange fruit with a sweet apricot-like taste. The smooth rind of this clementine is thinner than other varieties, so it's very easy to peel. The deep-orange flesh is juicy and predominantly seedlesss.

Think this is staying small due to the pot.  Plan on up-potting it, giving it time to size up, then plant in ground in the spring once it warms up.
