Fengdu Jincheng Orange is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Fengdu Jincheng Orange was introduced from the Citrus Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and has been continuously selected and propagated to improve its quality. In 1995, it won a Bronze Award at the Second China Agricultural Expo. Its main characteristics include strong and vigorous tree growth with lush branches and leaves. The fruit is oval-shaped, with relatively uniform shape, weighing 160–190 grams per piece, and larger fruits can reach over 200 grams. The fruit color is orange-red, with a relatively thin peel about 0.30–0.35 cm thick. The edible rate of the fruit is 75.1%, juice content is 51.8%, soluble solids content ranges from 10.5% to 12.7%, sugar content is 7.9–9.0 grams per 100 milliliters, acid content is 0.5–0.6 grams per 100 milliliters, and vitamin C content is 46.6 milligrams per 100 milliliters. Fengdu Jincheng Orange has wide adaptability, produces high-quality and abundant yields, and is commonly grafted onto trifoliate orange rootstock, resulting in early fruiting and early high yield—young trees of 4–5 years old can yield 6–9 kilograms per plant. When grafted onto red tangerine rootstock, Fengdu Jincheng Orange is high-yielding and stable, with mature trees capable of yielding over 50 kilograms per plant during peak production. The fruit has few seeds, about two per fruit, and matures in late November.
