Nandan Rock Sugar Pear

Nandan Rock Sugar Pear

　　Nandan Rock Sugar Pear is a high-quality early-ripening pear variety independently selected and cultivated in Nandan County. It gets its name from the sweet, crystal-clear fragrance reminiscent of rock sugar.

　　The fruit is medium to large in size, with an average weight of 180–220g per fruit, and can reach up to 500g. It is round and well-shaped, with a smooth, yellowish-green skin that is glossy. The sun-exposed side of the fruit shines golden, giving it an attractive appearance. The core of the Rock Sugar Pear is small, and the flesh is white. It does not easily oxidize or discolor after peeling. The texture is tender and crisp, juicy, and has the sweet, refreshing taste of rock sugar, with a soluble solids content of 13–15%. The pears are ready for harvest and market from late July to early August. In recent years, superior individual plants have been selected and recognized as excellent fruit tree strains in Guangxi. The county has now promoted the cultivation of over 5,000 acres, distributed across towns such as Liuzhai, Chengguan, and Dachang, yielding an annual production of more than 1,000 tons.
