Melons & Fruits 0 views
Introduced in 2001 by the Shandong Institute of Pomology. Young trees show vigorous growth; under open-field cultivation they can set a small amount of fruit in the second year, and by the third year the average yield per tree reaches about 5kg. The fruit surface is golden yellow, the pit is free (freestone), the pit is small and the flesh is thick, with a sweet-and-sour, palatable flavor. The average single fruit weight is 67g, and the largest single fruit weight is 83g. This variety has good flower bud quality, with a perfect flower rate reaching 94%, and a high self-fruitfulness rate, reaching 18%. Long shoots on young trees can bear fruit, but short fruiting branches borne on 2- to 3-year-old wood have a high fruit-setting rate and produce large fruit. First bloom on April 6
