Reikou tree grown as a pot plant

Reikou (麗紅, reikō^?) is a cultivar of tangor.^[1] It is a citrus hybrid of a hybrid of Kiyomi and Encore (Kiyomi–Encore No. 5) and Murcott tangor.^[1]^[2]

Description

The fruit can be easily peeled by hand.^[3] It has a sugar content of between 12% and 13%, with some fruits reaching 15%.^[3] The weight of a fruit is 210 grams, relatively large for a tangor, and the fruit is reddish-orange colour.^[1] It fruits in late January.^[1] It does not produce pollen, so it must be pollinated by another species of citrus.^[1]
