On September 16, workers were busy harvesting golden fruits - Taiqiu sweet persimmons - at a family farm in Dongshan along Jingzhou Village, Qiancang Town, Yongkang. Farm owner Li Zhong introduced that this 355-acre orchard primarily grows Taiqiu sweet persimmons, with over 14,000 trees in scale, while also cultivating honey sugar plums, brocade yellow peaches, and other fruits.
Taiqiu sweet persimmons belong to the completely sweet persimmon variety, combining the crisp texture of apples with the refreshing juiciness of pears, earning them the nickname "Hermes of the fruit world." This year's harvest period began on September 14 and will continue until the end of October, with pricing set at 60 yuan per kilogram.
After removing the protective bags, the persimmons display smooth and plump yellow-green skin, with golden flesh inside that is crisp, tender, and residue-free, filling the mouth with sweet, refreshing juice. Notably, this farm achieved the "Zhejiang Agricultural Best" title in 2024 with a single fruit weighing 637 grams.
