March Birth Fruits
March swaps winter citrus for spring strawberries. Each of the 31 days carries its own birth fruit: Dekopon, strawberry, Amaou, Kiyomi and more. March 3 belongs to Dekopon, whose fruit words are "individuality" and "reward".
Our birth fruits are compiled independently by one rule: prefer the fruit whose peak season includes your date. From the bump-topped Dekopon to Hinamatsuri strawberries, the month lines up with the season's festivals.
Graduation and school-entry season: a fruit word makes a small, warm note for gifts and cards.

Fruits of March
March overlaps the last chapter of citrus with the peak of strawberries. Dekopon is sweetest in February and March, its bump a mark of individuality. Kiyomi — a parent of Dekopon — is a juicy citrus peaking this month.
Strawberry and Amaou lead the spring tables. Grapefruit runs long from winter into spring, while Blood orange and Cherimoya add rarer faces to the month.
