The time for the harvest of Chinese citrons has come again this year!

The Chinese citrons bear a lot of fruits again this year.
It seems too heavy with so many fruits on the branches.
This is a big annual event since we pick up more than 200 Chinese citrons every year.

We picked up some of the Chinese citrons at first.
They are shining gold.
We could not resist against the beautiful color and tasted them on the spot!!!

When we peel the skins, the fresh smell spread all over!!!
Trying to resist the temptation of the smell, we hurry to take the picture!

At last we can taste them.
The typical bitterness makes us feel the severe cold winter of this year,
And the sweetness follows and makes us feel that spring has come.
For sure, they are preparing for the coming flower season.
