Meet the peach that put Yangshan China on the map. The honey peach (shu\u01d0 m\u00ec t\u00e1o) is a white-fleshed, fuzzy peach known for its overwhelming juice content, sweet flavor, and perfume-like aroma. Often given as a gift, this fruit is a delicacy in Wuxi. There, a single honey peach can sell for $7 or more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like all peaches, this variety is native to China<\/a>. Growers harvest them in the summertime, from June to August. Yangshan in Eastern China is the “hometown of honey peaches.” The town’s peach production is so prosperous that ‘agritourism’ or fruit tourism and the culture surrounding the peach have revitalized the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
