Shonan Gold - Citrus flaviculpus x Citrus unshiu



Hybrid parentage       Citrus flaviculpus hort. ex Tanaka (Ōgonkan) × Citrus unshiu (Swingle) Marcow. cv. Imamura unshiu

Cultivar           Shōnan Gold
Origin  Kanagawa Agricultural Technology Center (神奈川県農業技術センター?), Japan

Shonan Gold (湘南ゴールド?) is a hybrid Japanese citrus, with a characteristic "golden" bright yellow color.


Though not completely seedless, the seeds are few in number. The yellowness is inherited from its mother plant (seed parent), a small-sized variety known as Ōgonkan or "Golden Orange", which has been crossed with the Imamura Unsiu variety of Satsuma orange for size and other desired traits. The cultivar was developed by an agricultural experiment station run by the Kanagawa Prefecture.
