Derek, looking at your Clementines, I do not think you have much to worry about. I believe it is just winter color. Many of my Clementine seedlings have much the same coloration, other varieties like Satsumas are much darker green. They should green up come summer. You might check the soil temperature. At soil temperatures below 60F (16C) citrus's ability to take up nitrogen, and other nutrients, drops 60 percent. I think they will be fine, but it is always prudent to keep an eye on them just to be sure. - Millet
