Does anyone have a red clementine growing? I’m hunting for a variety of this plant. Would you know of a source? Thx, JJ

last year I planted ruby clementine from agrumi lenzi in italy.
I choose the smallest size, so its still little and far away from fruiting

I have "Amoa8" or "Rubino" as Agrumi Lenzi calls it. I got small sweet fruits with only a few seeds but all dark red colored. Tastes really good and coloration is really good, much better than Moro. Aside from the Red grape taste that comes from the Anthocyanins the fruits have mandarine taste.
I have no picture but my fruits were as dark red as on the homepage of Agrumi Lenzi.

Till, I remember Lenzi saying somewhere they are actually not the same. They claim it is a mutation of a clementine while Amoa8 is not a clementine but Moro x Avana developed by CRA in 2004.. And then there is also "Trabut" which Adavo claims isn't the same as Rubino either.. I only have Rubino from Lenzi and it is full of seeds but they are soft and never germinate.
