    Citrus Intrigue

    Pomologist David Karp, who also writes the Market Watch column for the LA Times, has been researching the Dekopon for years.  It's a Japanese citrus variety that is just now available in Southern California.  The fruit is being marketed in the US under the name Sumo.  It's a cross between an orange and a satsuma mandarin.
