Chile has begun making its promising Clemenluz, o Andes 1 variety available to all the citrus producing countries of the world. This variety is an early maturing clementine, a spontaneous mutation of the Clemenules variety that occurred in that South American country.
This is a variety that is registered, i.e. it is patented, so the producers interested in using it must pay royalties for it and are subject to the conditions of breeders and licensees, as with any other varieties that is patented.
According to information from Chile, this variety's trees have a similar development as the Clemenules, without the bumps of other early clementines, and its fruit is very similar to the Clemenules: it is flattened, has a good calibre, high quality, seeded, has an intense colour, and reaches an advanced maturity in three weeks. In Spain, the nurseries associated in AVASA will grow it.
