Duan County Golden Crisp Pear

Duan County Golden Crisp Pear

　　The "Jin Gai Su" fragrant pear

　　Introduced from Liangli Commune, Dangshan County, Anhui Province by the former Xinzhou District Fruit Tree Station and planted in Duan County. Due to changes in the growing environment, the variety characteristics of the pear have significantly evolved—the shape became more attractive than in its place of origin, the taste improved, the flesh turned crispier, and the juice became sweeter. It can be stored until the next year when the pear blossoms bloom. Duan County has over 5,000 acres (with more than 100,000 trees) of Golden Crisp Pears, yielding an annual production of 50 tons, which are exported as far as Macau and other regions.
