Ponkan (Chinese: 椪柑, Japanese: ポンカン) ('Chinese Honey Orange')– is a member of the tangerine family, but its fruits are the size of oranges. The fruit is round and around 7-8 cm wide in size. It was originally introduced to the United States by Robert Pittman, Sr., of Apopka, Florida, in the early 1900s. The fruit is very sweet. Trees are heavy bearing every other year. "R.C. Pitman, Jr., of Apopka, Florida, organized the Florida Ponkan Corporation in 1948, served as its President, and has continuously promoted the culture of this delicious fruit.
