Chuanjin No. 1 Early Ripening Ponkan (川津1号早熟椪柑)

It is an extra-early ripening citrus variety, coming to market as early as mid to late October, much earlier than most other mandarin types.

Its appearance is highly attractive — the fruit is highly flattened or broadly oval, averaging about 200 grams per fruit. The peel is thin and smooth, while the flesh is deep orange, crisp, and extremely juicy.

With each bite, it delivers a refreshing balance of sweetness and tartness, bursting with juice that makes it hard to stop eating. The sugar content reaches 12–14%, giving it a sweetness comparable to or even better than other mandarin varieties.
