Who has it? How hardy is it? What is the taste like. Is the red a sport?

Is the red clementine the same as a Ruby Tango or Mandared?

Yes. A hybrid of clemeules and blood orange as far as I can determine.

It has a berry taste, I lost my tree to the 16f freeze in winter of 2017-2018. I have more seedlings going, so it will be a few years.

I have a small seedling that I planted this past spring. It hasn't grown much this year, hopefully it's working on establishing a good root system.

I have never seen one at any of the grocery stores I frequent. Believe me, when mandarins are in season, I check out the varieties weekly to see if there is something new to try. Maybe I am looking at the wrong stores. Kelley said the Orri can be found at the Food Depot. Didn't have any luck in my hometown.

None ever in stores here. Costco gets some various citrus but not this.

A Fresh Market store in my area has them sometimes. They are seedless. I found one seed ones but it was damaged. I liked the flavor.

I still have my tree, just saying I'll have to pay you a visit between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
