tachibana orange; Citrus tachibana
A small, wild Japanese citrus fruit and its tree. Often mentioned in classical poetry and as a symbol of eternity.
I planted a tachibana tree in the garden.
The fruit of the tachibana is small but has a nice fragrance.
In early summer the tachibana flowers bloom and their fragrance fills the garden.
In autumn the tachibana bears fruit, and small yellow citrus stand out on the tree.
