On July 12, the reporter walked into the Jiangjiaying Blueberry Base in Aziying Street, Panlong District, Kunming City, only to see blueberry fruit trees hanging from sapphire-like fruits. At present, it is the season of blueberry picking in Aziying, 35 yuan can achieve blueberry freedom in the 135 acres of orchard, is this not rushed?
Standing in the field overlooking, the blueberry garden seems to be invisible, casually pick a blueberry fruit with white fruit cream in the mouth, the full berry juice spreads in the mouth, sweet with a little bit of fruit acid, but the flesh is delicate, accompanied by a fresh fruit aroma, straight to people love. It is worth mentioning that the ripening process of blueberries is different from other fruits. Although on the same branch, the fruits are ripe in batches, so do not pick small green fruits in the orchard, they are still "blueberry babies".
"The temperature in Aziying is generally lower than in the urban area, and the fruit ripens later than in other places." Ms. Hai, the person in charge of the Jiangjiaying Blueberry Base, said that in previous years, the blueberries in Aziying were picked in mid-June, but this year, due to the cold spring, they only matured in early July. "The picking period of blueberries is one and a half months, and the picking and taking away is 35 yuan / kg, and the picking and taking away blueberries is 1 kg or more, and the income fee is free."
Because the Jiangjiaying Blueberry Base is located in the water source protection area, the base is very particular about production and planting. "We don't apply fertilizer or pesticides, on the one hand, to protect the soil and water, and on the other hand, to ensure the fresh and sweet taste of blueberries." Usually do some simple pruning and weeding work to promote better absorption of nutrients by blueberries. Ms. Hai told reporters that at present, the base has a total of 135 acres, with an annual output of 20 tons, and 70% of the blueberries in the base are sold fresh, and 30% are processed with jam, dried fruits, blueberry wine and so on.
Blueberries have "fruit queen" and "king of berries" and other reputations, because of its high anthocyanin content, with enhanced human immunity, delay aging, eye maintenance and other effects, so in the mainland Changbai Mountain area, people also call blueberries "eye protection god." According to Ms. Hai, blueberries like acidic soils, which are suitable for growing in sunny places, and the taste of blueberries after fully bathing in sunlight will be more fresh and sweet.
