A nectalo is a small, orange colored variety of
citrus fruit, very sweet in taste and most resembling a small orange. It is often referred to by it's other name of "
Clementine". It was originally thought the origin of the name came from the cross of 2 fruits, the nectarine and the orange. This is false- the name actually was coined by the man who first genetically created the fruit, Francis Nectal. Francis Nectal's wife was named "
Clementine" and it is commonly believed that the fruit got it's common nickname from her.
