Often confused with mandarin oranges, clementines are either seedless or have very few. Nules Clementines are considered the best all for the sweetest taste and premium flavor. This is a great sweet citrus tree for even the smallest spaces. Clementines are heavy yielding even when maintained at a bush size. You’re entire family will love this sweet, juicy citrus treat packed with important vitamin C. Enjoy them fresh as a snack, and for baking or canning and marmalades.
Nules Clementines make great landscape plants.
From their thick canopy of large leaves to the ornamental brilliance of the late season fruit ripening. Clementines will ripen in November and should be harvested right away. Like all citrus fruits, you’ll enjoy an excellent shelf life if you store your harvest of Nules in a cool dry place.
The Clementine tree is rapid growing tree and easy to grow.
Nules will readily adapt to most soils and a wide variety of regions in the warmer states. In cooler states you can still enjoy the sweet delicious taste of Clementine fruit when growing them in a container. When cold weather threatens, bring your citrus tree in and let it prosper in a sunny window. You’ll find these clementine mandarin trees to be pest and disease resistant with good drought tolerance, once established.
If you are colder than zone 8, you must bring your citrus tree indoors during the winter months.
I planted a Nules Clementine May 21, 2011. It was a very small tree with lots of flowers. Within a week or so, it started developing 26 oranges. I peeled one and was astonished to find a fully ripe and beautifully sweet tasting fruit. Normally, November or December is picking time, but I harvested them on August 23, three months after planting! I've given some to my wife, landscape man, and neighbors and they all were delighted with the taste. I live in zone 8b (coastal GA).

I purchased this plant about three years ago. I live in the middle of zone 9. I have enjoyed many great clementines from this plant. I highly recommend it.

I purchased a Clementine Nules Mandarin tree in June, 2010. It is 2 ft. high and has developed five little white flowers already. To date it has never been outside. I live in Zone 6 so I have it potted.
