Danxia Shatian Pomelo

Danxia Shatian Pomelo

　　    The Shatian pomelo from Danxia Mountain is among the finest varieties of pomelo, belonging to the Rutaceae family, and is an evergreen tree with thick, large leaves, broad leaf wings, and large clustered flowers. The fruit is broadly obovate, ripening in late autumn, pale orange in color, and highly resistant to storage. The flesh is sweet without acidity, with a fragrant aroma. Thanks to the identical climate and soil conditions to those of Shatian in Guangxi, its fruit shape, flesh, sweetness, and fragrance can all rival those of the Shatian pomelos from Guangxi.

　　　　        Currently, it has been widely introduced in villages and towns around the area, especially in Xiifu Village where it is most abundantly grown. With the expanding cultivation area and careful nurturing by fruit farmers, it has gradually developed marketable potential and is now able to meet the needs of tourists and the general public.
