Anyone want to comment on favorite clementine varieties?
Readily available options are Fina Sodea, Nules, and Marisol, and I'm leaning toward the Fina Sodea simply because it looks on average to have a higher TSS/acid ratio, which I tend to like. I've never tried a clementine knowing what the specific variety is, so I'm at square one in terms of selecting.
Thanks.

I have four clementine de nules trees that planted in 2010 in ground, outside, with no protection. they have been very vigorous, over 8 ft tall this year, with about 15 to 40 fruit each. last years fruit was very good and I expect this years will be better. I do not have any other clementines to compare them to. I tried the nules because I understand they are the most popular. If you like I could PM you when they get ready and you can try them yourself.

Clemenules. Awesome fruit.
So how do these differ from the Fina Sodea?
I tried to look back but I could not find my notes stating the reason I went with FS. The Nules may not have been available in Florida or the FS may have been more cold hardy.
