Notes
'De Nules' clementine (Citrus clementina 'De Nules') is a fruit tree for the food garden. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun. White flowers open in spring and again in summer. The fruit is juicy and sweet, with few to no seeds. It is grafted onto semi-dwarfing rootstock, which keeps the tree smaller.
Pairs well with Moringa, Sichuan pepper, Papyrus, and Sorrel.
