Summer inflammation, fragrance. In late june, the harvest of a pyrotechnic plantation in the town of yongning's back-hand village, full of huge flaming dragon nuts with branches, was marked by red fruit, and the harvest season of 2025 was officially inaugurated。
Walking into the plantation, the grower, gao xiaoyan, was travelling through the vines to pick them up. It was described that the plantation had eight acres and had grown over 4,000 flamingos, yellow nuts, double-coloured fruit and oats, all of which had been introduced from taiwan in 2020 and had become “net-red” fruit because of its watered feet and sweetness. Each year, the dragon nuts harvest season lasts from the end of june to january of the second year, with 17 to 18 batches available throughout the year, six of which are collected on a large scale. For the first time alone, it is expected to yield six kilos, with an average acre production of four kilos, generating an annual income of about $150,000 for growers。
On that day, in addition to the plantation workers ' pick-up supply market, a large number of tourists came to participate in parent-child harvesting. Ms. Lee, from the crusade city, came with the children, “last year she fell in love with the flaming nuts, sweetness and abdomen, and had a special interest in hoarding the goods today, so that the children could have fun in the field.” today, multiple businesses, such as parent-child picking, fruit box customization and team development, make plantations a “sweet base” for urban and rural residents。
“our village explores the development model of `industrial + growers + fruits' in order to make specialty cultivation the `gold key' for villagers.” the secretary of the faipule and the head of the village council, yang jintien, stated that by leading villagers to develop niche industries such as fire dragon nuts, not only the land resources but also the extension of industrial chains such as rural tourism, agro-processing and so forth, the “small fruits” were set in motion。
From the introduction of high-quality varieties to the expansion of pluricultural operations, the village of the back handles, with the flamingo cultivation as its backbone, has boosted the dynamism of the rural industry, both in the form of the village's back and in the form of a wider path of rural renewal.
