Clementines have a deep orange color with a smooth, glossy appearance. Their skin is easy to peel and they are typically juicy and sweet, with less acid than oranges. They grow on trees that have a rounded, glossy canopy of dark green leaves that keep their color year round. They are mostly grown in the Mediterranean, California and in Africa. The clementine is a spontaneous citrus hybrid probably between a tangerine and an orange that arose in the late 19th century in Misserghin, French Algeria, in the garden of the orphanage of the French Missionary Brother Clément Rodier, for whom it was named. Clementines differ from other citrus in having lower heat requirement, which means the tolerance to fruit maturity and sensitivity to unfavorable conditions during the flowering and fruit setting period is higher. In spring, fragrant white blossoms bloom and then become bright orange fruits, ready to be picked from November to January. However, in regions of high total heat, the Clementine bears fruit early.
