The rain is downy and the neem flowers are wet, and the south wind trees are ripe loquats. At present, more than 20 mu loquats have matured in Youquan Orchard, Daping Village, Heping Street, Yanhe Autonomous County. The yellow and golden fruits have bent the branches, making people salivate. Recently, the orchard held the first loquat picking festival in the loquat base. Many tourists came here to taste mature loquats, experience the fun of picking and feel the beautiful scenery of the countryside.

During the activity, tourists walked into the orchard to pick ripe loquats and interact with children to feel the joy of harvest.

"Their loquat base is close to the county seat, and the loquat is big and tastes good. I come to pick and buy it every year. Today, I met them holding a picking festival, and the price is affordable. I plan to buy more and take it back to relatives and friends." said tourist Zhang Hongyan.

Cui Youquan is the owner of this loquat garden. He started planting loquats in 2011. In order to ensure the quality of loquat, Cui Youquan strictly followed the concept of green and organic development in the planting process. The loquat grown by Cui Youquan is large, thin, juicy, tender, and delicious, which makes more and more people become loyal customers of his family.

"My friend said that the loquats in Daping Village are very delicious. I came to the scene today when I was free. Sure enough, loquats are really big and their flesh is very sweet. I plan to buy more." Yang Zhaoyong, a tourist picking loquats in the orchard, praised me very much.

In order to do a good job in the fruit industry, Cui Youquan applied for a county level family farm in 2019, and he and his wife Xiao Xia developed the fruit industry full-time. Now, his family farm has developed 20 mu honey plum and 20 mu hollow plum. The scale of the farm has grown from the original 20 mu to the current 60 mu. In 2022, it will also be rated as a provincial model family farm.

"We mainly follow the development route of high-quality fruits, which requires high planting management technology. For example, in the process of loquat management, flowers, fruits and bags should be thinned, and organic fertilizer should be used as fertilizer, so that the quality of loquat managed can be good. Of course, we will also develop the fruit industry based on the unique geographical conditions and ecological resource advantages, adding impetus to the revitalization of our village. ”Cui Youquan said.
