I am a little off topic here.
I want to know if clemenule from Spain is a new cultivar and is not available to the public or is it the major export of Spain?

Benny,
Clemenules goes by a lot of different names. Among them are Mandarina de Espaņa, Clementina de Nules, Clementine Nules, or Clemenules for short and simply Nules, etc.
It is an old cultivar that dominates the mandarin export market of Spain. It has been in the budwood program for some time but only recently was it planted en masse. About 5 years ago (just guessing here), there were tremendous acreage planted to clemenules in California. That was then followed by tremendous acreage planted to Tango.
So I would say that Clemenule is a recent introduction to California.
Joe
