　　Jinfeng Pear

　　Jinfeng Pear The Jinfeng Pear is a high-quality fresh-eating variety hybridized and selected by the China Fruit Research Institute in 1956. Its birthplace is Xingcheng City, Liaoning Province. In the mid-1980s, through the efforts of many knowledgeable individuals, the Jinfeng Pear was introduced and grafted in the wild pear rootstock orchard of farmer Zhang Guo’an in Dandunzi Beach, Qingshui Town, Jiuquan City, thus establishing the city’s first improved pear scion base. Thanks to the area’s long hours of sunlight and large diurnal temperature variations, the Jinfeng Pear has been successfully cultivated on a large scale in Jiuquan, with fruit quality that is noticeably superior to that of its place of origin. The Jiuquan Jinfeng Pear is nearly round in shape, with large fruit — averaging 245 grams per piece — containing 8.22% soluble sugar and 0.24% titratable acid, making it an excellent-quality and high-yield variety. The outstanding quality of the Jiuquan Jinfeng Pear has gained wide market recognition. Currently, the pear is not only exported to major domestic cities such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Guilin, Hangzhou, and Shanghai, but also shipped overseas to countries like Singapore. The Jinfeng Pear has become a well-known fruit brand in western China.
