　　The fruit is nearly cylindrical, with a slightly wide, flat top. The average weight per fruit is 250 grams, and larger ones can exceed 1,000 grams. The skin is greenish-yellow, turning yellow upon storage. The lenticels are small and dense. The stem cavity is shallow and narrow, with medium width and strip-like or flaky rust marks in the middle. The calyx often falls off. The core is small. The flesh is white, of medium coarseness, crisp, juicy, richly sweet, and contains stone cells. It has 11%–14% soluble solids, 7.35% soluble sugar, 0.10% titratable acid, and 0.21 mg of vitamin per 100 grams. The tree is vigorous, with a budding rate of 82%. Typically, two long shoots grow from below the pruning cut. Fruiting begins 3–4 years after planting. It primarily bears fruit on short fruiting branches, and also has strong fruiting ability on lateral buds. Short fruiting branches account for 65%, lateral buds 20%, medium fruiting branches 7%, and long fruiting branches 8%. It has good yield potential, and with proper management, produces abundant and stable yields. It is highly adaptable, with low requirements for soil and climatic conditions, tolerant to poor soils, moderately cold-resistant, and of moderate disease resistance.

　　This variety features large, high-quality fruits with an attractive appearance and relatively abundant and stable yields. Among late-maturing varieties, it is one of the most broadly adaptable and superior cultivars. It holds significant development potential in the cool regions of the northwestern Loess Plateau.
