　　The Jin Mama apricot is a local cultivar from Lanzhou. The fruit is nearly round with a rounded apex, a deep and broad stem cavity, clearly visible but shallow sutures, and symmetrical flesh on both sides. The skin has an orange-yellow base color with a bright red blush on the sun-exposed side and deep red speckles; the flesh is orange-yellow, tender and soft in texture, sweet and juicy, with a soluble solid content of 14.2%. The average single fruit weight is 46.3 grams, reaching up to 60 grams at maximum. It is semi-freestone with a sweet kernel. The fruit ripens in late June, with a development period of about 80 days. This variety is attractive in appearance, highly adaptable, and extremely productive. It is an excellent fresh-eating apricot and can also be processed into dried apricots.
