Anli Pear

Anli Pear

　　Anli Pear belongs to the Qiuzi pear variety group and is commonly known as sour pear.

　　The fruit is round or flat-round, with yellow-green or golden-yellow skin. It is relatively small in size, contains more stone cells, but when fully ripe, it has a well-balanced sweet and sour taste, rich aroma, and a refreshing flavor. The fruit is packed with various nutrients essential for the human body, containing 8.78% sugar, 1.27% acid, 1.54% vitamins, and has the highest level of soluble solids among pears. Anli Pears can be eaten fresh, dried, frozen, or cooked.

　　Anli Pears have strong resistance to pear scab and black spot diseases, as well as good cold hardiness, making them suitable for growth in the Yanshan Mountain area, and they are distributed across various towns in Qianxi County.

　　Anli Pears bloom early, which often does not coincide with the flowering period of many cultivated varieties, so artificial pollination can significantly improve their fruit set rate. Currently, Qianxi County has fully implemented artificial pollination for Anli Pears. Due to the xenia effect, the quality of Anli Pears produced through artificial pollination is markedly improved—they are more uniform in size, have thin skins, fine flesh, abundant juice, and better taste, leading to significantly enhanced commercial value.
