Nanxi Jin Cheng Oranges

　　Jin Cheng oranges, also known as Goose Egg Tangerine No. 26, originated in Jiangjin, Chongqing. They were selected from local seedling sweet oranges in the 1940s as an outstanding variation. The Jin Cheng oranges produced in Nanxi have received multiple awards from the Ministry of Agriculture and the title of High-Quality Fruit Product of Sichuan Province. Key characteristics include: vigorous tree vigor, round-topped canopy, and relatively open tree posture; branches are strong, flexible, and have small thorns, especially on summer and autumn shoots, and the leaves are long-oval; the fruit is long-oval in shape, resembling a goose egg—hence the name.
