Hernandina (Mandarins, Clementine)

The fruit is medium in size and slightly flat. Vivid orange rind that is fine and easy to peel. Juicy pulp of high quality. Practically seedless when pollination does not occur.

Mutation of the Clementina Fina variety to have originated in Picassent (Valencia).

Internal ripening occurs almost at the same time as in the Clementina Fina variety, however external maturation or coloring takes place about two months later. Relatively unaffected by rainfall. A suitable variety for regions without early harvests and with low risk of severe frost.
