Hoang Kim Milk Fruit - Golden Fruit on Me Linh Land

Ms. Nguyen Ha Trang, the female owner of Ngoc Trang fruit garden, Village 3, Me Linh commune, Lam Ha district, is harvesting star apples.

Ms. Trang shared that Hoang Kim star apple is no longer a strange plant to Lam Dong people. However, she is very proud of Hoang Kim star apple garden, because this is a garden planted with all the passion of her family.

The young farming couple Tran Ngoc - Nguyen Ha Trang have put a lot of effort into having a beautiful Hoang Kim star apple garden.

Taking guests to visit the garden, Ms. Ha Trang introduced each tree and each ripe fruit that was carefully preserved: “ Tourists and my family's customers are surprised because Hoang Kim star apples are very large, with an average yield of 2 fruits/kg.

We are proud to be recognized by the Hoang Kim Viet star apple growing community as having a beautiful fruit garden with stable productivity. After six years of growing Hoang Kim star apples, my family has put a lot of effort into this fruit garden." And, the care of the young farming couple has been rewarded with a bumper crop of sweet fruit.

Mr. Tran Ngoc, the person who directly selects the seeds, plants the trees and takes care of them every day, shared that Hoang Kim star apple is a fruit originating from Taiwan.

With its sweet, juicy flesh and distinctive bright yellow skin, Hoang Kim star apple brings a new flavor to the Vietnamese fruit market. Like him, having learned a lot from friends who grow Hoang Kim star apples across the country, he has cultivated this model and focused on taking care of it.

Mr. Ngoc shared: “Hoang Kim star apple garden was planted in 2018. In the third year, the tree began to bear fruit. My family grows Hoang Kim star apple according to the organic farming model, limiting pesticides.

As soon as the fruit sets, all young fruits are covered with foam shells to prevent insects from biting them. Therefore, growing Hoang Kim star apples almost does not use chemical pesticides, just need to take care and prevent diseases properly to have clean and delicious fruit.

Golden Star Apples ripen in the garden of the young farming couple Tran Ngoc - Nguyen Ha Trang, Me Linh commune, Lam Ha district, Lam Dong province. Golden Star Apples are a fruit tree originating from Taiwan.

According to Mr. Tran Ngoc, the most important thing is to import standard varieties. The garden's varieties are imported directly from Taiwan, with large fruits and stable productivity.

This is a perennial plant, so the variety must be given special attention because it will directly affect the quality of the fruit as well as the growth ability of the plant.

The Golden Star Apple tree can bear fruit for 20 years, a very long time, so when planting, farmers must really pay attention to the source of seeds.

He also commented that many farmers grow Hoang Kim star apples but the fruit is not big and the skin is thick because the original seed source is not standard. Therefore, he always encourages farmers to buy seeds from guaranteed sources when growing fruit trees to get the best quality fruit.

Growing clean fruit trees in an organic direction

With 6 sao of land specializing in growing Hoang Kim star apples, Mr. Tran Ngoc planted 130 trees. He said that Hoang Kim star apples prefer hot climates. However, when planting in Me Linh, Lam Ha, he and his wife found suitable cultivation techniques so that the trees can grow in cool climate soil.

According to Mr. Tran Ngoc, the Hoang Kim milk fruit tree prefers organic fertilizer. The more high-quality organic fertilizer you add, the bigger and sweeter the fruit will be.

For small fruit trees, he cuts the old trunk and grafts the shoots to get large fruit. The grafted trees grow very quickly and will bear fruit much sooner than trees planted from a young age.

In particular, he shared: “Because it is a sun-loving plant, when planting in Me Linh, I keep the density low and prune the leaves regularly so that the plant can absorb enough light. With enough light, the root and leaf system is strong, the plant will flower and bear fruit quickly.” Mr. Ngoc also found a technique to “tighten” the plant to flower and bear fruit all year round.

He said that the time from when the Hoang Kim milk fruit tree bears fruit until it can be harvested is two months. Therefore, he has applied the technique of rotating the tree, flowering and fruiting four times a year. This ensures that the garden always has ripe milk fruit to supply the market steadily.

Currently, the garden often harvests on full moon and new moon days, specializing in supplying the Hanoi market. With abundant organic fertilizer, Hoang Kim star apples of Ngoc Trang garden are large and sweet, with thin skin that can be peeled but does not stick to the flesh.

This is a huge plus, helping the gardener's milk fruit to be favored by the market, Mr. Tran Ngoc proudly shared. In particular, he never picks green fruit, always harvests ripe fruit because when harvested green, the fruit will be bland.

Also because of the ripe harvest, the preservation and transportation of Hoang Kim star apple must follow strict procedures, ensuring that when it reaches the consumer, the fruit is still intact and not bruised.

Hoang Kim Ngoc Trang star apple garden is also a tourist attraction on the route from Da Lat to Nam Ban Elephant Waterfall.

Visitors to the garden will be free to pick and eat fruit, enjoy the golden, sweet Hoang Kim star apple right from the tree. The model of welcoming guests at the orchard of the couple also brings an interesting feature to this tourist route, helping visitors have more beautiful experiences.
