Now
It's the season of "competing for favor" with all kinds of fruits
Cherries, known as the "nobility of fruits".
It is even more in the limelight
In the past few days, the Chengnan Garden Cherry Research and Planting Base located in Nanzha Street has also ushered in the harvest season. Walking into the base, a burst of fruity fragrance came to my nose. In the shade of green trees, the plump bright red and delicate "rubies" hang down the branches. Visitors wander through the orchards and can't wait to taste the sweet and sour taste of cherries.

I came from Wuxi, and the cherries here are big, well-shaped, and delicious. The tree is not too tall and is just right for picking.
In order to help the cherries from afar overcome the problems of water and soil adaptation and climate adaptation, Wu Xinyang, general manager of the planting base, and the management team have been exploring for nearly 5 years. Wu Xinyang introduced that the cherry orchard covers an area of 80 acres, and a total of more than 3,000 cherry trees have been planted. In the future, they plan to launch a series of products such as cherry wine and dried cherries to further exploit the economic benefits of cherries.

This year's cherry production in the garden has increased by about 10% compared to last year, and the output is expected to be 30,000 to 35,000 kilograms.
In recent years, with the increasing demand of consumers for high-quality fruits, Jiangyin has introduced dragon fruit, soft jujube kiwifruit, cherries, phenanthus oilberries and other "new and exotic" fruit varieties suitable for picking, ornamental and processing products at the same time, while improving and strengthening the local characteristic fruit industries such as grapes, peaches and cuiguan pears, etc., constantly enriching the "fruit plates" of citizens, promoting the formation of new agricultural characteristic industries and economic growth points, and injecting "sweet power" into rural revitalization.
