Ponkan mandarins from October to February — from green-peel to fully ripe.

Taiwan's ponkan comes mainly from Dongshi and Xinshe (Taichung), Chiayi and Tainan. Green-peel ponkan arrives first in October–November with a fresh, tangy taste, followed by fully ripe, easy-peel, sweet ponkan from November to February. Ponkan is approved for export to Japan.
