Cultivars and characterYulan carries a magnolia scent, and its valley was laid out as a model of modern rural planning. Suxin is named for the water and the climate that make it. Shangjiang plays on the farmers' association name in Sanxing — three stars, the rank of a general. Wufeng, near the Jiaoxi hot springs, was named by the growers and their marketing group together. Four names, four different reasons.
