What is Xinjiang prune?

Xinjiang prune is a kind of prune, which is different from twips.

Prunus mume originated in La Piet de Agun, southwest France, and is the hometown of Prunus mume. When plums are ripe, their skins are dark purple and their flesh is amber. 1856, a French planter, Mr Louis Pellet, introduced plum saplings to northern Garifoli, which is today's northern Garifoli. By 1900, the plum plantation in California had reached 90,000 hectares.

In recent years, American prunes have been introduced into Xinjiang in large quantities, mainly in southern Xinjiang. The unique climate characteristics in southern Xinjiang make imported prunes surpass American prunes in yield and quality.

The main producing area of Xinjiang Wumei is Jiashi County.

The unique weather in Jiashi County is very suitable for cultivating prunes. In 2004, Jiashi County introduced many plum varieties from abroad, such as Falahi Taylor. After several years of exploration and planting, a high-yield plum blossom plantation appeared on the land of Jiashi County, which laid a good foundation for Jiashi to build the largest plum blossom base in China.
