The average weight of the oblate fruit is approximately 170 g. The skin color is dark-orange, and the fruit surface is smooth-medium. The peeling is easy, and the peel is middle. Fruits usually contain medium seeds, but non-flowers are pollinated by other surrounding cultivars, and the fruit may contain a few seeds. Its citric acid reduction is fast and the flavor is middle orange-flavor. The sugar content rating is apporoximately 12 Brix and citric acid content is approximately 0.82% in mid-December. The proper time of harvesting is in late November to the middle of December, because the skin has complete coloring and the citric acid content is approximately 0.8%.
