Appearance characteristics of Duwei Wendan pomelo Variety Origin Duwei Wendan pomelo cultivation has a long history. According to legend, in 1833 (the twelfth year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty), Wu Dengqing, a member of the *** group in Tanbian Village, Duwei Town, Xianyou County, passed the imperial examination. The following year he visited Zhejiang When Jinhuafu and his friends tasted the local pomelo, they felt that the quality was very good. They even asked local friends for pomelo seedlings and brought back a few to plant in the courtyard of their hometown. After several years of careful cultivation, the pomelo trees grew branches The leaves soon bloom and bear fruit. By the end of October, when the grapefruit matures, the green-yellow fruit weighs about 2 pounds. When picked and tasted, it tastes better, but the juice has little residue. The pulp contains many grapefruit seeds and the shape of the fruit is irregular. , Thick skin affects the quality. Wu Dengqing felt that the quality of the pomelo he grew and the pomelo he ate in Jinhua had significantly deteriorated. At a gathering of friends, Wu Juren learned that there was a young woman named Wu Jiemu in Tanbian Village. She was delicate and beautiful, and she was also a famous dancer in the Putian Xian Opera Troupe.

The ears were cut off and grafted onto Wu Dengqing's pomelo tree. After careful management, the newly grafted pomelo trees finally bear fruit. When harvested at the end of October, the fruit weighs 1.5-2 pounds, looks like a large weight, has a green and yellow color, and has a high yield. When tasting the inner quality, it has Combining the advantages of both sides, it is fragrant and refreshing, juicy and tender, seedless and residue-free, and fragrant. It is the best pomelo.

A few years later, this kind of pomelo was cultivated sporadically in Baoxing, Xincuozi, Chenku and other natural villages in Duwei Town.
