Narrative
According to Starrantino (Int Soc Citriculture, 1992), 'Cami' has large fruit of a spheroidal shape with a slight neck and with good color. The thin rind peels easily. The pulp is very juicy with a "pleasant, armoatic" flavor. 'Cami' is considered a mid-season variety under Sicilian conditions. Color break starts in late November and by mid-December the fruit is at about an 8:1 TSS/TA ratio. However, optimal quality is not obtained until at least the last week of December. The fruit hangs well on the tree until February or March, and acid levels remain above 1 % even when TSS is at its highest. The fruit is seedless; however, when pollinizing varieties are present, the fruit will have seeds. 'Cami' begins bearing early. However, it is sensitive to water stress, prone to splitting, and has a tendency to alternate bear. The tree is of intermediate vigor with leaves resembling those of 'Avana' (Willowleaf'). The tree is not very dense and has rounded branches that are thornless in the apical region. (RR Krueger, 03/21/2008)

Pedigree
Description:
"'Cami' was derived in 1973 by crossing the monembryonic hybrid 5O-15A-6 ['Comune' clementine (C. clementina Hort. ex Tan.) x 'Avana' mandarin (C. deliciosa Ten.)] as female parent with 'Mapo' tangelo (C. deliciosa x C. paradisi as male parent. In 1977 some scions taken from the apical part of the seedling, named 73-Cam-6, were grafted onto Troyer citrange. The abbreviation 73-Cam-6 represents the year of crossing, the initials of 'Comune' clementine (C), 'Avana' mandarin (A) and 'Mapo' tangelo (M), and the seedling number. In 1980, the grafted plant was planted, together with other hybrids, in the 'Palazzelli' Lentini (Syracuse) experimental orchard of the Citrus Experimental Institute."
