Product Name: Zijing Cherry

Description:
Zijing is a premium Chinese cherry variety (Prunus pseudocerasus), selected from wild cherry resources in Shengzhou, Zhejiang, and officially certified in 2019 . Known locally as Yingzi or Yingzhu Cherry, this variety offers a unique combination of rich flavor, attractive appearance, and good marketability .

A Strategic Mid-Season Gem:

Zijing ripens in late April, perfectly bridging the gap between the early “Short-Petiole” and late “Black Pearl” cherry varieties . This strategic timing extends the cherry season and provides growers with a distinct market window.

Appearance:
The fruit is flat-round with a beautiful purple-red skin. The flesh is reddish-yellow, fine-textured, soft, and very juicy . One of its key selling points is that the stem does not easily fall off, making it more durable for transport and sales than other Chinese cherry varieties .

Flavor:
Zijing is known for its sweet and rich flavor, with a soluble solids content of 12%–16% – considered the most flavorful among local cherry varieties . The fruit is small, with flesh that separates easily from the pit (freestone) .

Size:
Average fruit weight is 2.1–2.9 grams, with large fruit reaching up to 4.0 grams .

Growing Advantages:
Strong tree vigor with good adaptability and disease resistance . Easy to cultivate, making it suitable for commercial orchard production.

Harvest Season:
Late April – a mid-season variety that extends the spring cherry market.
