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]
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 fruit weighs around 210 grams (7.4 oz), relatively large for a tangor, and is a 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]
Its systematic name is Kankitsu Kuchinotsu 32 Gō (カンキツ口之津32号)[ clarification needed] after Kuchinotsu, Nagasaki where it was bred. [1] It was hybridized in 1984, with its name registered in 2004 and the variety registered in 2005. [1] The first fruits came on sale in 2007. [3]
