Honey Pear

　　Honey Pear was once a local "tribute" in the history of Fuyuan. It originated in Qingshuigou Village, Zhong'an Town, and is also known as "Qingshui Honey Pear" or Qingshui Pear. The current annual fruit yield is about 140,000 kilograms, mainly distributed in areas to the west of the county town such as Haiping, Xiage, Shigang, and Zhaizikou.

Qingshui Honey Pear is a late-maturing variety, with fruits ripening in late September. The fruit has large dots, thin skin, tender and crisp flesh, abundant juice, and a sweet, pure honey-like flavor. The average fruit weight is 396 grams, with the largest reaching up to 1,394 grams. The shape of the fruit resembles a short gourd, measuring 7.1×7.4 centimeters in length and width, with light yellow-green skin. The flesh contains 10.5% to 13% soluble solids, indicating medium to high quality. It is resistant to storage and can be kept until December of the same year or January of the following year.
