　　Jieshan Town successfully introduced the Winter Snow Honey Peach from Qingzhou City. After careful cultivation, it has now entered its peak fruiting period. The total planting area across the township has expanded to over 5,000 acres, with a total annual yield exceeding 10 million kilograms. The Winter Snow Honey Peaches of Jieshan Town are large in size, with individual fruits weighing around 110 grams, and the largest reaching up to 203 grams. The skin is light green with a rose-red tint on the sun-exposed side, vibrant and tender. The flesh is milky white, semi-freestone, fine-textured, soft and juicy, with a sweet and fragrant taste. Its notable characteristic is its late ripening period, typically harvested around mid-November each year, making it an off-season fresh fruit. Under normal room temperature conditions, it can be stored until the Spring Festival for consumption. When refrigerated for 100 days, its color remains bright and unchanged. The Winter Snow Honey Peach is rich in vitamins B and C, offering high nutritional value. Its roots, leaves, flowers, and seeds can all be used medicinally, with effects such as relieving coughs, promoting blood circulation, and killing parasites. The peach pits can be made into activated carbon, and the fruit itself can also be processed into various food products such as peach preserves, peach juice, and dried peaches.
