Distribution

Besides Japan, it is grown in Afghanistan, the United States, and South Korea.[2]

Description

The fruit is oblate, bright orange in color, very small, and very seedy, and for the latter two reasons it is not grown for commercial use. It ripens from October through November and has been cultivated since at least 1900. The tree is densely branched and the leaves are elliptical in shape.[3]

Genetics

While its parentage is unknown, it has been shown to have the same parental variety as the tachibana orange.[4]

Taxonomy

It was described by Chozaburo Tanaka in 1927.[5]
