This variety has long, large fruit and produces many bananas, and its quality is also relatively good, but it has high requirements for fertilizer, water and temperature. Its economic traits perform rather poorly in the Pearl River Delta, its wind resistance is extremely poor, its ability to recover after frost is low, and it is also easily infected by banana bunchy top virus.

It was introduced from Vietnam around 1932, and is the main cultivar in the Nanning and Longzhou areas of Guangxi, and has been introduced for planting in various production areas. It has strong wind resistance, cold tolerance, drought tolerance and adaptability. This variety has medium yield, excellent quality and strong stress resistance, but its skin is thin and easily splits, it does not store or transport well, and it is also easily infected by Panama wilt.
