Their common feature is juicy and sweet fruit. The second is the oval variety, whose fruit is oval, the fruit is larger, the seeds are more, the taste is sweet and sour, the variety is medium, and the yield is generally higher, so the price is not very expensive. The third is a wide oval species, which looks like a chicken heart, so it is also called a chicken heart yellow skin.
