Linzhou is located in northern Henan, at the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains, where the terrain is relatively high and the climate is cooler, with an average annual temperature of around 13°C. The soil is mainly brown earth and cinnamon soil, with the latter predominantly found in mountainous areas above 800–1000 meters in elevation and slightly acidic. The hawthorn trees grow to about 5 meters tall, with white flowers blooming from May to June and ripening in October. They are commonly found on slopes, forest edges, or in shrubbery at altitudes of 1000–1500 meters. The trees prefer sunlight but can tolerate partial shade, drought, cold, and poor soil. They bear abundant fruit with stable yields.
