On march 26th, china's new network, fukuyama tungshan (yin ki zhang jinchuan) came to china and was very busy with the chinese commercial deng tae-zhang who started a business in fujian shan. Only because the new group of gold papayas on his farm saw the time of ripening。
The “fruit” is the main breeding object of the gold papaya. Yin ki
"a piece of papaya can weigh about eight pounds." according to the tang tai stamp, this tree is not to be underestimated and can produce about 250 pounds of fruit a year, five times the normal papaya yield。
In 2015, duntai-chang introduced from taiwan imported fruit “gold papayas” from south-east asia, renting a small farm of 11 acres on the outskirts of the western village of shang tong town, dongshan county, as a “test farm” to breed new varieties. In the second half of the year, the gold papaya that he planted survived in large areas and was very popular。
Tang tae-cheong is a gao hung of taiwan and has always run his own fruit garden at home. At one chance, he was exposed to the gold papaya species in south-east asia, whose yellow-coloured palm blades, which were very beautiful, combined with the sweet taste of the fruit, and decided to bring it back to taiwan for testing。
Because of the differences in climatic characteristics between taiwan and the latitudes in which the species originated, he feared that its trees would not be better adapted to the new environment, with adverse effects on the quality of fruit products. “i used to plant local papayas in orchards and have some experience in planting them, but it is prudent to plant them.”

However, after a period of inquiry, the duntai chapter found that the gold papayas, apart from the stricter requirements for temperature, were not easy to cultivate, leaving his heart stone on the ground。
“the quality and yield advantages of the gold papaya are significant compared to the average papaya.” after a small test of the knife, the results began to show, and the duntai chapter began to reflect on future planting plans。
Common papayas have generally been measured at about 12 degrees of sweetness, while gold papayas can reach 18 degrees, and one piece of ordinary papaya tastes less “smelling”。
At the same time, the gold papaya not only produces a large amount of fruit, but also has trees that can be seen as a potted landscape. In contrast, he prefers the consumption prospects of gold papayas。
“there was business dealings with the mainland in the gardening before, and i see the resources and the potential of the market economy.” after the success of taiwan's small seedlings, the duntai seal chose the island with his “gold fruit”。
The early arrival of the gold papayas still requires adaptation to the new environment before they can grow in size.” the papayas are a high-breeding crop, and dongshan island is also an island county, with more than four seasons of wind and more than a few days of weather a year, especially during the high-birth period in the summer and autumn, and are prone to inversion.” the duntai chapter states that once the gold papayas fall, the losses to their production and quality will be difficult to predict。
By searching for information and asking questions, the duntai chapter found a solution. One is the use of “depreciation” cultivation techniques, which allow gold papayas to grow to 7 or 80 centimetres and, until they are produced, to be slightly treated with a 45-degree tilt towards the ground. Another is the choice of a safe place to plant, with the condition that the forest be planted around it to protect against the wind。
“by taking into account the cost and the practical factors of the farm environment, the technique of `dumping' cultivation is better suited to us.” the duntai chapter explains that trees treated with “depreciation” result in higher quality, no decline in production over the years, a relative increase in the fruit cycle and life of the melons, and can also serve as an intensive, efficient and easy tourist harvesting。
At present, duntai and partner ishiyama are using over 1,000 gold papaya saplings in toshiyama farms as “mothers” to try to improve their varieties and to make technological breakthroughs as a basis for constantly developing larger-scale breeding grounds。
In september 2018, the first gold papaya saplings successfully cultivated by the duntai seal were marketed for sale on the country's major agricultural websites。
“the price of a gold papaya tree is now about $40 on the market.” according to zhang deng, as this variety is still relatively rare and its planting techniques are not yet widely available, they will also provide technical guidance on a full-scale basis in line with the needs of farmers。
The gold papayas of the duntai stamp have caused local curiosity. “there are many farmers and tourists who come by name to experience our new product.” the tang tae-chang joked that the range of land is highly adaptable, suitable for most areas of the south, and attractive to them, with both edible and visual advantages。
Today, duntai zhang and the farm partner ishiyunshan have also developed more than 100 acres of gold papaya saplings in the towns of wupau county and longbridge, where more than 30,000 seedlings have been planted and continue to be sold to areas such as hainan, guangxi, guangdong and fujian.
