Carambola in Meitang Village, Triangle Town, Meijiang District, is ripe and listed
Right now, it's time for the carambola to ripen. Recently, in the carambola plantation in Meitang Village, Triangle Town, Meijiang District, the plump carambola is hung with branches, and the slight fruity fragrance is emitted through the white bag.
It is when the carambola is ripe.
Carambola, also known as yang peach or peach, is also known as "star pear" and "five-star fruit" because of its five-pointed star shape in cross-section. Its flesh is crisp and juicy, slightly acidic, rich in sugars and phenols, and has antioxidant effects. "Flora of China" records that star fruit gives birth to quenching thirst, can also be used in medicine, roots, skin, leaves to relieve pain and stop bleeding, has high edible and medicinal value, autumn and winter climate is dry, a piece of star fruit in the mouth, the flesh is crisp and sweet, the juice instantly fills the mouth, lips and teeth are fragrant, and the dryness is relieved.
A slice of star fruit in the mouth, the flesh is crisp and sweet, and the juice instantly fills the mouth.
It is understood that Meijiang District is located in a river valley basin surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, with less cold air, forming a unique regional microclimate, which is very conducive to the cultivation of carambola. In addition, carambola likes high temperature and humidity, the local annual average temperature is 21.5 °C, the annual average relative humidity is more than 75%, the climate is warm and humid, and the forest is dense, which can meet the growth habits of star fruit, provide good shade conditions for star fruit, improve the germination of male anthers of star fruit and the receptivity of female stigma, so that star fruit can better carry out flower bud differentiation and flowering pollination, and increase fruit set rate.
The relevant person in charge of the Meijiang District Agricultural Technical Service Center introduced that the temperature in the area can reach 24 °C in April, and the star fruit tree enters the flowering period at this time. As the temperature increases, the chlorophyll content increases, and the young fruits are bluish green. July to December is the fruiting period of star fruit, the temperature gradually decreases compared with the first half of the year, and the chlorophyll in the carambola fruit gradually decomposes and produces color change, so that the star fruit appears golden yellow after ripening.
Carambola is widely cultivated in Meijiang District, among which "Meitang Carambola" is the most famous, and the main production area is located in Meitang Village, Triangle Town.
In 2021, the "Meitang Carambola" GI certification trademark was successfully registered, which is the first GI certification trademark in Meijiang District.
At the end of 2021, the State Intellectual Property Office issued a certification trademark registration announcement, and "Meitang Carambola" was officially approved for registration, which is the first geographical indication certification trademark in Meijiang District, bringing new opportunities for the local development of carambola cultivation.
"There are 10 major rivers such as Meijiang and Chengjiang in Meijiang District, with sufficient groundwater, and after the root hair of carambola absorbs water, with the help of transpiration, the carambola cortex transports water and minerals dissolved in water from the epidermis to the vascular column, and then transported by the vascular column to the carambola bud fruit and other parts, to meet the water demand of the flowering and fruit stages of carambola, so that 'Meitang carambola' has the unique quality of large single fruit and juicy and less residue." The above-mentioned person in charge said that in addition, Meijiang District has sufficient sunlight and the soil is rich in humus organic matter, which also makes "Meitang Carambola" contain higher protein, high sweetness and good taste.
The plump carambola resembles a huge crystal with a delicate and transparent appearance.
Every morning, Liang Qingwen, a villager in Meitang Village, and his wife start busy in the orchard: picking, carrying, packing, and delivering in one go. "I planted 6 acres of star fruit in the village, and now it tastes the best and can be sold for hundreds of catties a day." According to Liang Qingwen, 60 years old this year, who has more than 20 years of experience in star fruit cultivation, his own star fruit begins to ripen from about the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and by the 15th day of the first month of the following year, the price of carambola can reach 5 yuan / jin.
In recent years, the Meijiang District Party Committee and District Government have vigorously developed the carambola planting industry and gradually established an integrated model of "base + cooperative + enterprise + farmer". "The village cherishes the brand 'Meitang Carambola' very much, and requires farmers to plant more than 4 taels of carambola before they can be picked and sold, so almost all of them buy ripe fruits that weigh more than half a catty and are of high quality." Hou Weisheng, secretary of the general branch of the Meitang Village Party, said that in recent years, through the holding of carambola picking festivals and other activities, Meitang carambola has gradually become known to the outside world, and this agricultural industry of enriching the people has been further developed, and the income of villagers and village collectives has been continuously improved, so that Meitang carambola has truly become the "fruit of prosperity" for farmers and promoted rural revitalization and development.
