Nishinokaori' was produced from a backcross between 'Kiyomi' tangor and 'Trovita orange'. It was registered as 'Tangor Norin No.7' and released as a superior tangor cultivar in 1997. The tree vigor is medium to weak and the tree attitude is intermediate to spreading. It has tiny thorns at young stage, but thorns disappear with the years. The cultivar shows a parthenocarpic habit and produces nearly seedless fruits in spite of its male fertility. Seeds are monoembryonic. The fruit is 100-180g in weight and the shape is oblate to obovoid. The rind is thin, orange to reddish-orange in color, and easy to peel. Flesh is tender and juicy. Flavor is pleasant, aromatic, similar to orange flavor. The fruit ripens in late December to early January. Acid is low (0.7 ~ 1.0g/100ml) and the concentration of soluble solid is fairly high (11 ~ 13%). 'Nishinokaori' is resistant to citrus scab like orange and is susceptible to citrus canker, but more resistant than orange.
