I found a resource of Blood Clementine in Germany and pass it to you:

But look at the price ...

& they claim they ripen earlier than other mandarins?

Quote:

Citrus reticulata 'Clementine Red' Clementine, mandarin Very rare red and rather habanero read! Clementines are hybrids of mandarins and oranges, they are sweeter and ripen earlier than mandarins, and they are seedless and slow-growing. In the public's taste, they are now far ahead of the mandarins. Typical of C. reticulata are the long, narrow, dark green leaves. The intensely fragrant white flowers. Its skin is remarkably thin. Flower color: white Bloom: Spring Fragrance: strong fragrance Winter: at least just frost-free Edible fruits: yes Leaves: evergreen Pruning: possible Pests: Pests often Climber: No Light claim: in the summer months means, in the winter of medium

I guess they mean earlier, than the Meridian Mandarin.
That is true.

I think you can find some less expensive. Mine come from Tintori, around 30 €

The problem is that you cannot order there ...

It would be nice to get some budwood ...
