As we all know, Shandong is a big orchard, regional brand fruits such as stars, such as Qixia apple, Fushan big cherry, Laiyang pear, Xinxian melon, Leling jujube, Guanxian duck pear, Dazeshan grape, Mengyin peach, Feicheng peach, Renfeng watermelon, Weixian radish, Tianbao cherry, Yixian pomegranate, Licheng mill persimmon, Taishan red jade apricot, Yangxin duck pear, Changle watermelon, dipped winter jujube and so on.

Among the many regional brand fruits, Yantai Qixia apple is undoubtedly the "king" in Shandong fruit, whether from the audience, or from the brand influence, or from the overall brand value.
If you make a ranking of many fruits in Shandong, Yantai's Qixia apple must be recognized as the first place. As for the second place, from the current degree of consumer recognition and the popularity of the consumer market, Fukuyama Cherry should be able to barely rank second for the time being.
As for the third place, in the author's opinion, the dipped winter jujube should be able to rank third. I don't know, what do you think?
It faces the Bohai Bay and the alluvial plain of the Yellow River, and the soil is alkaline. The local climate is unique, and there has always been a habit of growing winter dates. The cultivation of winter dates in the local area has a cultivation history of more than 500 years. In the 1980s, the local area vigorously developed the winter jujube industry, relying on the favorable time and place, and gradually built the winter jujube into a local planting industry.
Why does the author think that dipped winter jujube can rank third in Shandong? Dip also did not give the author advertising fees.
Compared with Yantai Qixia apples, Fushan big cherries, etc., there is a special feature of dipped winter dates, which is also the main reference factor for the author to rank it third.
Most of the regional brand fruits, such as Qixia apples and Fukuyama large cherries, are not local originals. For example, apples are the japanese red Fuji varieties introduced, and Fukuyama large cherries are the European sweet cherry varieties that have been introduced. In terms of cultivation history and culture, apples and large cherries belong to foreign-introduced fruits, which are naturally inferior.
Dipped winter dates are different. Dipped winter jujube is not only a representative of the local jujube tree, but also a variety of jujube trees. This kind of dipped winter jujube originated from dip, so it is called dip winter jujube and has been cultivated for more than 500 years.
It can be said that the dipped winter jujube is a native regional agricultural product.

If you ask a foreigner's impression of Shandong, it is generally inseparable from a "big" word. Shandong scallions, Shandong garlic, etc., and of course, the very famous Shandong jujube.
And the dipped winter jujube is the Shandong jujube that best represents the Shandong jujube.
How big are the dipped winter dates? This can be seen by what many people call "Little Apple". The following picture shows the Shandong dipping winter jujube, you can experience it, the dipping winter jujube is large.
Big is a major representative feature of Shandong agricultural product brands, and in this regard, dipping winter dates perfectly helps Shandong interpret what is really big!
It can be said that the jujube is a native fruit tree of Shandong, and it is also a representative of the Jujube in Shandong, and in recent years, the brand reputation of the Jujube is also well-known in the country.
In contrast, Yantai Qixia apples, Fushan big cherries and other old regional brand strong fruits may have some gaps at present, but compared with other regional brand fruits, they can still be far ahead.
Of course, this is also the author's family talk, I don't know what you officials think?
