Nules Clementine Tree

Clementines are small, but mighty. They are packed with vitamins C, E, B, and also contain calcium, magnesium, and iron. Clementines are also easy to peel and seedless, so they are convenient to eat on the go or at home. This combination of easy to eat and high vitamin and mineral content, makes the Clementine a great snack full of nutritious goodness.

You can mulch under a Clementine Tree with a thin layer of tree bark or composted leaves to help retain moisture and discourage weeds. However, heavily stacked, deep mulch is not recommended. Also, never allow mulch or leaves to stack against the tree’s trunk at the base. Rake a clean area of about 6 to 10 inches away from the tree base to prevent root rot.

It is best to go randomly from flower to flower and pollinate a different 1/3 of the blooms each day for 3 or 4 days.
