NOVA
(CLEMENVILLA, SUNTINA) Resulting from the cross between Fina Clementine and Orlando tangelo. The fruit is medium-large for a mandarin, good flavour and internal quality. It has an attractive orange to reddish-orange colour. Peeling is not so easy due to the firmness of the fruit, the thin rind and its tight adhesion, but once started it is easily completed with no oiling of the hands in the process. Moreover, virtually all the albedo is removed with the rind, leaving the segments as clean as the best Clementine. It has no puffing problems, its fruit is seedless. And has good preservation.

Harvest period in Uruguay is from mid of May to mid of June and it can be degreened without inconveniences although it is not essential. This is the difference with Clementine the Nules.
