Melons & Fruits 0 views
The comprehensive quality of the Agate pear surpasses that of Zaosu, Bayuesu, and the Japanese variety Sanshui pear, making it an excellent early-maturing pear variety. The fruit is broadly elliptical to nearly round, medium to large, with an average single fruit weight of 228 grams and a maximum single fruit weight of 400 grams; the skin is golden yellow with small and sparse fruit dots; the flesh is yellow-white, tender, juicy, sweet, and richly aromatic, with a soluble solids content of 14.7% to 16.3%; the fruit stores and transports fairly well, maintaining its quality unchanged for 80 days in a constant-temperature storage at 0 to 5°C. The fruit ripens in early July. The tree is vigorous

The comprehensive quality of the Agate pear surpasses that of Zaosu, Bayuesu, and the Japanese variety Sanshui pear, making it an excellent early-maturing pear variety. The fruit is broadly elliptical to nearly round, medium to large, with an average single fruit weight of 228 grams and a maximum single fruit weight of 400 grams; the skin is golden yellow with small and sparse fruit dots; the flesh is yellow-white, tender, juicy, sweet, and richly aromatic, with a soluble solids content of 14.7% to 16.3%; the fruit stores and transports fairly well, maintaining its quality unchanged for 80 days in a constant-temperature storage at 0 to 5°C. The fruit ripens in early July. The tree is vigorous, with moderate branching ability, strong bud-break ability, strong adaptability, and extremely strong disease resistance. It has strong early fruiting and high yield, producing over 700 kg of fruit per mu in the 3rd year after planting, and nearly 2000 kg per mu at 5 years old. It is one of the best varieties for the off-season pear market. It is resistant to black spot disease, ring rot, and others, requiring few pesticides for pest and disease control, making it a promising variety for producing low-residue green fruit. When planting, Xiansui pear, Jinhuazhong, and Wansanji pear can be used as pollinator trees.
