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-)

The true willow leaf mandarin is not a Clementine.

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.
