Ponkan

Citrus fruit and plant

Ponkan
Ponkan (Hokkien Chinese: 椪柑; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: phòng-kam); Citrus poonensis; "Chinese Honey Orange") is a high-yield sweet Citrus cultivar with large fruits in the size of an orange. It is a citrus hybrid (mandarin × pomelo), though it was once thought to be a pure mandarin. Description. "Pon" harkens to the "Poona orange" of original stock and "kan" means citrus fruit. The fruit is very sweet, round in shape and about 7–8 cm (2.8–3.1 in) wide in size. Trees are heavy bearing every other year, and sometimes the limbs break due to the heavy yields. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponkan
