In particular, Ehime No. 38 is an early-maturing tangerine variety with great potential. Compared with ordinary tangerines, the maturity period is about one month earlier, which helps fill the vacancy in the citrus market.
Ehime No. 38 is a hybrid variety of Japanese Nanxiang tangerine and Nishinoxiang tangerine. It is a new Japanese hybrid citrus variety. It is bred from the cross of Nanxiang×Xizixiang and has strong tree vigor.
Ehime No. 38 matures at the same time as Nanxiang, but is crisper and tenderer than Nanxiang, and has less floating skin. This orange variety overcomes the shortcomings of insufficient water in the later stages of Nanxiang and is the best variety to replace Nanxiang.
