Huairou District, Beijing Labagoumen late autumn yellow pear harvest

When it comes to the fragrant season of melons and pears, when you walk into the brigade of Huying Village, Labagoumen Township, Huairou District, you will immediately be infected by the joy and busyness of fruit farmers. In 2009, after experiencing the test of late spring cold, the late autumn yellow pears in Labagoumen Township had a bumper harvest, the fruits were all plump and plump, and the output could reach more than 50,000 jin, the highest ever.

In recent years, Labagoumen Township has actively guided and supported farmers to develop large-scale planting and characteristic planting, which has promoted the increase of farmers' income. The township introduced "late Autumn Yellow Pear" from Langfang, Hebei Province at the end of 2003, and successfully planted it in Huying. In 2009, the late autumn yellow pear planted by farmers in Labagoumen reached its full fruit, and its yield was double that of last year.

A tree can grow more than a jin of fruit, the heaviest of which is 2 jin and 62 taels. Farmers are extremely happy to see such a big pear cultivated by their own hands. Walking into the orchard, I was even pleasantly surprised to find that the pear trees of the villager Meng Xiangfu's family not only produced fruit, but also grew more than 10 pears on each tree, with more than 200 on the most tree, and some branches were bent by the fruit. It is understood that the output of each of these fruit trees is more than 10 jin, and according to 2 yuan per jin, the income of pears produced by the whole village can reach more than 100,000 yuan. Under the connection of the late autumn yellow pear co-operative, fruit growers can sell out their late autumn yellow pears without leaving their homes, and farmers' pockets are bulging like golden pears.
