Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The clementine orange, a variety of mandarin orange, is particularly attractive because the fruit is produced in the winter months. And of the clementines, Clementine de Nules is one of the best; the red-orange fruit is sweet, juicy and seedless. Trees, with their long, densely held, pointed leaves, are vigourous but easily kept pruned to bush size. Best with plenty of sun and water. Though the trees themselves are somewhat drought tolerant, they produce better fruit if kept watered. Where temperatures dip below freezing, best treated to protected winters.
