Why are Zhaotong apples so delicious?

Zhaoyang District is located in the north of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, at the northeast end of Wumeng Mountain System, and is the junction of Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan provinces. This Zhaotong apple lives in the deep mountains above 2300 meters above sea level. Because of its low latitude and high altitude, it is called "the apple closest to the sun and farthest from the city".

Zhaotong has plenty of sunshine and a large temperature difference between day and night. Every apple has gone through a perfect process of coloring during the day and adding sugar to the pulp at night, so that the mature fruit will give off a unique aroma of wild apples. Zhaotong is the most suitable area for apple growth in China. Compared with the northern apple producing areas, Zhaotong apples have four advantages:

1. First, ecological advantages. From the climatic conditions, there is no severe cold in winter, no intense heat in summer, small annual range, large daily range, abundant sunshine, moderate rainfall and abundant light, heat and water resources, which is the most suitable area for apple production.

Because it is located in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, it has strong ultraviolet rays, large temperature difference between day and night, and rapid accumulation of organic matter, which is extremely beneficial to apple growth. Judging from the production conditions, Zhao Lu and Shandong are big agricultural counties with clean atmospheric environment and no industrial pollution. The development of pollution-free apple production has unique natural conditions.

2. The second is the quality advantage. Due to the unique natural environment, the apples produced are bright in color, crisp in meat, moderate in sour and sweet, and rich in juice. Won the title of provincial high-quality fruit and the silver award of the second national agricultural Expo for many times. Zhaotong apples are famous in the three southwestern provinces, Guangdong, Guangxi and Southeast Asia.

3. The advantage of precocity. Zhaotong apples are one month earlier than those produced in the north. When the apples in the north are not ripe, Zhaotong apples are mature and listed. Its early-maturing varieties will mature in mid-July and late-maturing varieties will mature in mid-September. Therefore, the sales time has greater market space and market competitive advantage than the North. Fourth, location advantage and broad market.

Zhaotong City is located at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces. Due to climatic factors, these provinces and cities basically do not produce apples. Zhaotong has a plateau climate with an altitude of more than 2000 meters. The large temperature difference between morning and evening and strong ultraviolet rays lead to high sugar content and bright color of Zhaotong apples. The appearance and internal quality of Zhaotong apples are determined by Zhaotong's unique geographical and climatic conditions.

From the climatic conditions, there is no severe cold in winter, no intense heat in summer, small annual range, large daily range, abundant sunshine, moderate rainfall and abundant light, heat and water resources, which is the most suitable area for apple production.

As far as production conditions are concerned, Zhao and Lu counties are big agricultural counties with clean atmospheric environment and no industrial pollution. The development of pollution-free apple production has unique natural conditions. Quality advantage. Due to the unique natural environment, the apples produced are bright in color, crisp in meat, moderate in sour and sweet, and rich in juice.

Extended data:

The apple varieties in Zhaotong are mainly Jin Shuai and Red Fuji. Domesticated Fuji apples planted in Zhaoyang District have high yield, good taste, storage resistance, high sugar content and good flavor, and gradually replace the original varieties in Zhaotong. They contain 9 kinds of 1 13 aromatic compounds, such as esters, alcohols, heterocycles, ketones and benzene derivatives. They have the characteristics of early maturity, good sweetness, strong fragrance and crisp taste.

In the 15th year of the Republic of China (1926), Jia Haiyi, a Frenchman who worked on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, introduced apples from Europe to Kunming and later came to Zhaotong. In the early 1970s, Zhaotong began to select new apple varieties through bud selection. Marshal 180 was one of the most representative varieties in bud selection at that time. It was awarded the first place in the Yunnan bud selection appraisal meeting in 1978, and was officially named "Zhao Jin 108" by Zhaotong Regional Horticultural Society in 1984.
