Gunma’s plums are the most produced in eastern Japan and the second largest in Japan. The main variety is green ume white Kaga plum, which has a solid flesh and a refreshing flavor that makes it ideal for plum wine and plum juice.
The origin of Japanese Apricot is said to be China. It seems that it is believed that it was brought back from China for medicinal purposes by the envoys to Sui and Tang during the Nara period. There is a theory that Japan is also one of the origins, but the theory that China is the origin is common.
It is a representative variety of Japan that has been cultivated mainly in the Kanto region since the Edo period. The flower is a single large white flower and is worth seeing. The fruits are large, thick in skin and firm in flesh, which is preferable. Fruit weight 25-30 g, harvest time from early June. It seems that pollinated trees are necessary because there is little pollen.
