The fruit is as small as orange or orange, as big as melon, and the yellow skin is very thick. When eating, you need to peel and eat the pulp, and most of them are picked when the fruit is ripe10-1.

Touch the fruit with smooth but not rough skin and heavy hand feeling, which tastes good; On the contrary, the quality is poor. Distribution range Guanxi honey pomelo is native to Xilin and Banzai Town, Xiaoxi Town, Pinghe County. Honey pomelo is a well-known fine variety at home and abroad. According to 1857' s Fujian Miscellaneous Notes, "When oranges are blessed, pomelo is leveled, and when it comes out, there are vertical questions in the middle two layers, while when it comes out vertically, it is inlaid vertically and horizontally, regardless of levels, and its fragrance is comparable to litchi ...".

Guanxi honey pomelo and Songzi honey pomelo are mainly distributed in Pinghe town, and Hubei, Chongqing, Hunan, Guangdong and other provinces have also introduced a large number. But as the saying goes, "oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei", and the same Guanxi honey pomelo is not pure Guanxi honey pomelo when transplanted to Pinghe. Although Pinghe and overseas transplanted honey pomelo are similar in appearance, their nutritional components and taste are quite different, which can be said to be fake and shoddy. Guanxi honey pomelo has strong regional characteristics. Guanxi honey pomelo radiates 15 km around the junction of Xiaoxi Town and Banzai Town in Pinghe County, which is recognized as the best quality area. At the same time, it radiates outward from the center, and the farther away from the center, the lower the quality.

The honey pomelo with the same longitude and high latitude ripens late, and the water content of Guanxi honey pomelo planted at high altitude is obviously insufficient. The fruit state of honey pomelo has its own seasonality. Use fruit ripening to describe Pinghe honey pomelo, which will ripen ten days before and after Mid-Autumn Festival. This is due to the constraints of the growing environment. The fine varieties of Pinghe Guanxi honey pomelo originated from the junction of Xiaoxi Town and Banzai Town. Latitude and longitude, frequent illumination and soil and water elements jointly determine the quality of honey pomelo, from which everything of Pinghe honey pomelo comes. Pinghe honey pomelo, as a high value-added cash crop, can make every peaceful person at least have enough food and clothing. But since it was introduced to other provinces ten years ago, Pinghe honey pomelo has been introduced on a large scale in order to promote its local economic development and develop people's livelihood. The market is full of pomelos posing as Pinghe honey pomelo. The economy of the introduction area has developed, but the economy of peace and people's livelihood has been affected. I have to say, this is a kind of sadness. * * * did not do a good job in brand promotion and brand protection measures, which seriously violated the interests of Pinghe people.
