Clemenules, also known as Nules Clementine, originated as a mutation of Fina in Nules, Spain, in 1953. UCR describes its fruit as larger and a few days earlier than Fina, with high eating quality and a tendency to puff if held too long.[1]
"Seeds few unless cross pollinated. One un/open pollinated fruit had 4 seeds. Another that I intentionally cross pollinated had 11 seeds." - Citrus Frontier
Copalca describes Clemenules as easy to peel and practically seedless, while noting that cross-pollination can produce seeds. Its listed harvest window is November to mid-January; UCR reports October–December at Riverside.[4][1]
