Melons & Fruits 0 views
Xianghongmi was bred by the Chinese Academy of Fruit Tree Research from a cross between Aixiang as the female parent and Hexincun as the male parent. In Xingcheng, Liaoning, the fruit ripens in mid-to-late August, with a development period of i00d (days). The fruit is round, with an average single-fruit weight of 175g and a maximum of 240g. The background color of the fruit is yellow-green, with a purplish-red blush on the sunny side. The flesh is milky white and fine-textured; after ripening, the flesh softens, is juicy, and has a fragrant aroma. The flavor is sweet and sour and palatable, containing 15%-17% soluble solids and 0.37% acid, of superior quality. The fruit does not store well and can be kept at room temperature for about 20
