This variety is native to Gaochu, Zhoushan, Zhejiang. It is a robust tree, with a tall crown, round-headed or cylindrical, lanceolate leaves, 8.84 cm long, 2.22 cm wide, apex closed, clumps wedge-shaped, entire-margined or slightly serrate, leaves dark green, thin waxy layer, and distinct veins.

It matures in early to mid-July in the place of origin and is harvested in 12-15 days.

The variety begins to bear fruit 5-6 years after planting, and enters the full fruit period after 10 years, and the full fruit period can be maintained for 40-50 years, and the general large tree yields 50-100 kg, and the tall one can reach about 400 kg. The fruit has excellent fresh eating and processing performance, and is a good variety for fresh food and canning. Strong resistance to stress, abundant and stable yield. 

The cultivar was a late-maturing vegetative variant selected and bred by Yuyao Bayberry Research Institute and the Horticulture Institute of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences from Biqi seeds. It was named by Mr. Wu Gengmin, a well-known expert of Zhejiang Agricultural University. The tree is strong, with lush branches and leaves, a round-headed crown, large leaves, 9.3 cm long and 2.7 cm wide, and dark green leaves. The fruit surface is purple-black, rich in luster, bright and beautiful. The sweetness is strong, the taste is good, the meat is dense, and the storage and transportation are good. The average fruit weight was 13 grams, the soluble solids content was 13.9%, and the fruit edibility rate was 95.6%. It is about 5 days later than that of water chestnut seeds, and the fresh food and processing quality are excellent, the yield is good, the traits are stable, the fruit phenomenon is not obvious in the size of the year, and it is not easy to drop fruit when there are more fruits. In the origin of Yuyao, the fruit ripens at the end of June and the beginning of July, which can prolong the supply period of water chestnut and bayberry.
