Baisha Shatian Pomelo

Baisha Shatian Pomelo

　　In the mid-1950s, Pingshan Orchard in Baisha Township introduced Shatian pomelo seedlings from Rong County, Guangxi, which were quickly widely planted in the Longhuangdong area. Today, the majority of Shatian pomelos still retain their advantages, such as large fruit size, abundant juice, crisp and tender texture, sweet taste, and a pleasant honey-like aftertaste. A single tree can yield 100 to 200 fruits, with some producing as many as 500 to 600. Each pomelo weighs between 1 and 1.5 kilograms, with larger ones reaching up to 2 kilograms. In addition, they are easy to store and transport, giving them high economic value.
