The Ponkan Tangerine is a longtime favorite among citrus lovers — and for good reason. With its extra-large, deep orange fruit, easy-peeling skin, and incredibly sweet, rich flavor, it’s often described as the “candy of citrus.” Few seeds, juicy flesh, and a melt-in-your-mouth sweetness make this variety a must-have for fresh eating.
Flavor: Intensely sweet and smooth — like citrus candy
Fruit: Larger than typical tangerines with vibrant color and minimal seeds
Peelability: Thin, loose skin makes it a breeze to peel by hand
Tree Size: Grows 10–15 ft, but easily maintained at 6–8 ft for containers
Pollination: Self-fertile, but cross-pollination can boost yields
Hardiness: Adapts well to various conditions and shows moderate disease resistance
Zones: Thrives in USDA zones 8–11
Whether you’re building a backyard grove or growing in a pot on the patio, the Ponkan Tangerine delivers big citrus flavor in a tidy, rewarding package. It’s a classic for a reason — grow it once, and you’ll be hooked for life.
SHIPPING
Carriers and Services
We ship all orders via UPS, offering Standard, Expedited, and Overnight services. Shipping costs and delivery times depend on your location and the selected service.
Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
