The Movement of Local Resourcing of Citrus tachibana which is Domestic Wild Citrus Fruits and Status of the Population of C. tachibana in Heta District, West Izu Peninsula.

Abstract

I investigated a process of a movement of local resourcing of Citrus tachibana in Heta. Domestication of C. tachibana has been begun from 2003 because a resident paid attention to the northern distributional limit of domestic wild citrus fruits. The framework that money will be paid to a cultivation farmer by product development was formed there. An adult tree grew in 2 natural distribution sites total of 56 individuals, but a regeneration wasn't performed at a pure distribution site. A cultivated C. tachibana was observed in about 70 points in a garden and a field in Heta, and the cooperation with the formation of the unique landscape as a local resource was desired.
