Fengxiang pear was bred by the Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences from a cross of New Century x Sanhua. It was introduced to our farm's base in 1999, and in 2000, 85% of the trees bore fruit, with an average yield of 2.2 kg per tree. By 2002, the yield reached 38.5 kg per tree, with an average of 29 kg per tree and a per-mu yield of 1523 kg, ranking first among the 36 pear varieties at the base. This variety has thick, sturdy branches and vigorous growth. One-year-old branches are yellow, and in the 2nd and 3rd years the branches turn brown, with no rust spots and a glossy sheen. It is resistant to high temperatures, tolerant of poor soil, highly adaptable, early-bearing, produces abundant pollen, has a high fruit-setting rate, and yields abundantly and consistently.
