Narrative
This is a pink-fleshed selection of 'Hirado Buntan'. According to the Citrus Industry, Vol I, p 536 (1967 edition), "Standard" 'Hirado Buntan' fruit are large, oblate, seedy, with slightly depressions at both ends. Flesh color is yellow when mature [note: this refers to the "standard" 'Hirado Buntan']. The medium-thick rind is smooth, glossy, and tightly adherent. The flesh is light greenish-yellow, tender, and moderatly juicy. The segments are numerous with thin but tough carpellary membranes. Flavor is pleasant with well balance sugars and acids but with a trace of bitterness. Maturation is medium-early and storability is reagarded as good. The trees are vigorous and medium-large in stature, with large, thick, broadly winged leaves. It is more cold-tolerant than most pummelos. 'Hirado Buntan' is the second most popular pummelo in Japan (after 'Banpeiyu'). According to Saunt (Citrus Varieties of the World, 2000, p 104), the pink-fleshed selection from Florida is now the preferred choice for planting. Saunt regards this selection as being of the highest quality outside of the eastern regions of Asia and to be the equal of 'Djeroek Deleema Kopjor' ('Pomelit') from South Africa. Information from Florida DPI indicates that this pink-fleshed selection has large fruit that are sweet and juicy, with around to oblate shape. The season (in Florida) is stated to be November through March, and the trees are stated to be alternate-bearing. (RRK, 08/2006)
