First clementine tasting

My dwarf clementine mandarin tree had a tiny fruit when I bought it back in January. I couldn't tell if it'd grown at all since then. It was still completely green.


But since there were now lots of tiny flower buds on the tree and some of them had started blossoming...



My friends told me that it was time to pluck the tiny fruit.




It was orange inside, with a couple of seeds, and a small amount of sour juice.


My housemate and I split the pieces, and we agreed that it tasted "better than expected." I'm looking forward to seeing how the tree does next winter.
