It was not ripe enough, but the flesh was red. I'm waiting for the others. They will be larger. I'll take some photos of ripe fruits. |

Here are 2 pictures of my little clementine blood: Rubino Rosso.
The fruit is quite good and original taste.

@Bouladou - Now that's a bloody clementine! Looks delicious, I guess it tastes the same as well.

Hello Igor!
The taste is closer to red fruits: blackberries, currants, raisins, currants, raspberry. |

I already saw the pictures of the rubino rosso on the french forum. Really beautiful and very attractive looking!
I still wonder what the actual variety is... _________________ - Marc |

That must be because of its high anthocyanin content... Both berries and pigmented citrus varieties, except pigmented grapefruit, and couple of other ones, are pretty high in this antioxidant. Great job Bouladou!

Very nice trees JM and Bouladou. You should try crossing the blood mandarin with a kumquat |
