Hello! A couple days ago i purchased some clementine fruits with grafts in order to graft them. The fruits are very sweet, seedless with a long leaves. What is the variety of that clementine?

It could be clementines from Corsica. They are always sold this way, with at least two leaves. |

Of all the clementine varieties, the Fina Sodea Clementine is the variety that produces long rather narrow leaves. Reminds me of a Willow leaf. The fruit in serj's picture sure looks like a Fina Sodea Clementine. - Millet (369 ABO-) |

I can hardly believe, that someone can just look at the fruit and say which kind of clementine it is. Some differs only about time of ripening. Best way is- if you bought it in shop, just go back to the shop and look at the original box, there is often label with variety name. |

The leaf of a Fina Sodia Clementine (I have a 7 year old Fina Sodiia), has the general shape of a willow leaf, but the Fina Sodea's leaf is a litter wider than a willow tree's leaf. All other clementines, I believe, have, more or less, the general mandarin shape. - Millet (369 ABO-) |

On the box was written only "Italian clementine (mandarine)". I don't remember if mandarine or clementine. |
