Citrus reticulata Clementine de Nules
Common Name: Clementine Orange, Mandarin
Family: Rutaceae
Country of Origin: thought to have evolved in Vietnam, southern China, and Japan
Description: The clementine orange, a mandarin variety, is particularly attractive because the fruit is produced in the winter months. And of the clementines, Clementine de Nules is one of the best with its sweet, juicy, and seedless red-orange fruit. Trees, with their long, densely held, pointed leaves, are vigorous but easily kept pruned to bush size.2
It is named for the Valencian town where it was first bred in 1953; it is the most popular variety of Clementine grown in Spain.3
