Citrus clementina (Clementine) is a medium-sized, evergreen tree prized for its medium-small to medium fruit that are sweet, juicy, and easy to peel. They can very easily be broken apart into 8 to 14 different segments.The flesh is deep orange, tender and melting, aromatic and less acid than oranges. The seeds are very few to medium in number, depending on cross-pollination. If self-pollinated, the fruit are usually seedless. If cross-pollinated, the fruits become seedy. Highly ornamental, the tree is of moderate vigor with a round and somewhat spreading growth habit. The fine-stemmed branchlets are willowy and nearly thornless. The dense foliage is highly variable in size, narrowly lanceolate and dark green. Citrus clementina is a tangor, a citrus fruit hybrid between a willowleaf mandarin orange (C. × deliciosa) and a sweet orange (C. × sinensis). It is a distinctive type of mandarin and is noted for having lower heat requirement than other mandarins, which means the tolerance to fruit maturity and sensitivity to unfavorable conditions during the flowering and fruit-setting period is higher. Whether planted in the ground or grown in a container, this early fruiting tree will reward you in winter with an excellent crop of juicy fruit rich in fiber, calcium, potassium, and vitamin C.
