Can someone identify for me for certain the pair of yellow citrus fruit at the left of the top pane of stamps?
They look like pomelos.

They do look more or less like a pomelo, though hard to tell with out some context of size compared to tree leaves, etc
I have one in my back yard. Delicious. They aren't always completely yellow, often having some green remaining on ripe fruit
they are tasty!

Hi JeffS , The name of the fruit is in the top right corner of the stamp: なつみかん (Natsumikan), which translates as Summer Mandarin Orange. Its scientific name is Citrus natsudaidai. Hope this helps, Peter |
