New varieties can be produced through natural mutation or by cross-fertilisation with another citrus fruit, which will give seed-bearing clementines. Clementines are therefore basically propagated by grafting. The clementine is one of those rare citrus trees that bear seedless fruit. Clementines are seasonal fruits, usually produced between early November and early January, but this can vary depending on the year and the climate. It was first produced in Algeria in the early 20th century by a Spiritan cleric, Brother Clément, after whom it is named. The clementine tree, or *Citrus clementina*, is a hybrid resulting from the crossing of a mandarin tree and a variety of willow-leaved bitter orange tree. The clementine trees in our orchard produce organic clementines of the “Fine de Corse” variety, which is one of the first to have been planted in Corsica and one of those best suited to the climate of the 'Isle of Beauty'. The cultivation here is certified as organic by the European Union since 2008.ĭuring the process of adoption you can choose a name which we will use to identify your clementine tree.
