Fangcheng Autumn Red Honey Peach

　　The Fangcheng Autumn Red Honey Peach is one of the rare varieties of honey peaches in China. It was discovered in 1986 in Shangyu Village, Fangcheng Town, Xintai City, and was officially identified in August 1992 by expert Liu Zhenlian from the province, who tentatively named it “Fangcheng Autumn Red Honey.”

　　　 This variety is high-yielding, produces large fruits, boasts vibrant color, excellent quality, strong adaptability, and is easy to manage. It has rapidly developed locally, with orchards reaching a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu within four years of planting. The largest single fruit can weigh up to 600 grams, with dense flesh, clingstone pits, and a sugar content of over 12%. In recent years, Fangcheng Town has designated the “Fangcheng Autumn Red Honey Peach” as a leading industry for rural economic development. Trademark registration has been completed, and efforts in protection, development, and cultivation have been intensified, making this premium variety a key economic pillar for local farmers. By the end of 2000, the town’s Autumn Red Honey Peach planting area had reached over 10,000 mu, with an annual output of 4 million kilograms. The product is sold to cities and provinces such as Qingdao, Wenzhou, Shanghai, Hubei, Fujian, and Jiangsu.
