The Hirado Buntan is a traditional Japanese pomelo variety known for its large fruit and mild, sweet flavor. It produces thick-skinned fruit with pale-pink, juicy flesh that is less acidic and less bitter than grapefruit, making it enjoyable fresh. The fruit is easy to segment and valued for its refreshing taste. This vigorous and productive tree performs well in warm climates and is a great choice for home gardens and citrus collectors.
