Nules Clementine Tree - Live Plants in 2 Gallon Pots - Florida Only - Fruit Bearing Citrus for Patio and Garden

The Nules Clementine Tree (Citrus x Clementina) is a premium variety of mandarin orange, prized for its exceptionally sweet, seedless fruit and compact growth habit that makes it ideal for home gardens and container cultivation. A standout among citrus trees, this cultivar originates from Spain and is known for producing abundant, high-quality fruit with a smooth, deep-orange rind that’s easy to peel and bursting with flavor. Each clementine is virtually seedless, making it a favorite for fresh snacking, juicing, or adding to salads and desserts. This evergreen citrus tree adds beauty and functionality to any space with its glossy, dark green foliage and fragrant white blossoms that appear in spring, often followed by a prolific fruit set in the fall and early winter. The Nules Clementine is considered an early-season variety, typically ripening between November and January, offering a cheerful and flavorful harvest just in time for the cooler months. Its manageable size makes it perfect for patios, balconies, or small backyard orchards. When grown in containers, it can be pruned to maintain a smaller shape and brought indoors during colder months in zones where frost occurs. The tree is self-fertile, so only one is needed to produce fruit, though planting more may enhance yield. Whether you’re an experienced grower or a beginner, the Nules Clementine Tree is a rewarding addition to any edible landscape, offering ornamental charm and delicious citrus year after year.
