JIADING District has set up special orchards and brought more fruit varieties to its residents this year.
The district introduced three new farm products this year - red jujubes, walnut seeds from China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and blueberries from the United States. They are expected to be on sale in 2014.
"Besides a one-time investment of 70,000 yuan (US$10,769), we also need to spend about 2,000 yuan per mu (1 mu equals 0.067 hectare) for field management, most of which goes on keeping the soil moisture and acidity," blueberry planter Hu Peng said. The output will hit 500 kilograms per mu three years later and economic returns will range from 30,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan per mu.
A total of 140 red jujube and walnut trees from Xinjiang have survived and entered observation period in Shengxin Cooperative in Jiading Industrial Zone.
Malu Grape Park, which is home to more than 200 grape varieties, opened to the public on May 1. The early-ripening grapes in the park are expected to be on the market at the beginning of next month. The grape research institute in Malu Town introduced two pilot types from Japan this year, one of them is sweeter than any other types of the grapes in the park.
The first phase of a cherry theme park is under construction. The project which covers an area of 4 hectares will combine picking and dining with a spring resort.
