Its main characteristics include: medium tree vigor, open tree posture, slender and slightly drooping branches; fruits are oblate or broad oval in shape, weighing around 1300 grams per piece, with smooth skin, orange-yellow color, broadly flat apex, ring-shaped indentation, and relatively thick rind; flavor is sweet and sour, flesh is tender, edible rate is 51%, juice content is 45%, sugar content is 7.0 g/100 ml, acid content is 0.7–0.8 g/100 ml, and average seeds per fruit are about 70; it is early-maturing, ready for market from late September to early October, but not very resistant to storage; relatively high-yielding, with an average of 31 fruits per tree at 5 years old.
