Basic Introduction to Pan'an Torreya

Pan'an is known for its abundant production of Torreya and has a cultivation history of over 1300 years. It is a famous hometown of Chinese Torreya.

It is quite difficult to pick Chinese fir trees. Unlike walnuts, which can be beaten with sticks, Chinese fir trees not only have mature seeds, but also young fruits that can be harvested next year. Therefore, Chinese fir trees must be carefully picked one by one, especially those that grow on the treetops. People with certain skills need to climb the tree to pick them, otherwise they will fall off the tree. After being picked, Chinese fir is not ready to eat like peach, apricot, plum, or plum blossoms. It needs to be stored for seven days to ferment and convert nutrients. Then, the green outer skin is peeled off, washed, and stored for about 15 days (second ripening - nutrient conversion). Only after this processing can the fragrance of Chinese fir be sufficient, and it can be dried, stored, or stir fried in batches

Its fruit is wrapped in a hard seed coat, about the size of a jujube, with a kernel like an olive, pointed at both ends, and oval shaped. After maturity, the fruit shell is yellow brown or purple brown, and the seed is actually yellow white, rich in oil and a unique aroma, which is very appetizing

How did the history of Pan'an Torreya come about

Pan'an is known for its abundant production of Chinese torreya, which has a cultivation history of over 1300 years. In history, Pan'an County belonged to Dongyang Commandery. In the 5th century AD, the "Record of Famous Doctors" recorded that "it was born in Yongchang and Dongyang Commanderies." In the 10th century AD, the Song Dynasty Dingdu's "Jiyun" recorded that "Chinese torreya, with its wood name and substance, originated from Dongyang Commanderies." According to the "Zhou Family Genealogy of Xingtang in Feihu (formerly known as Feiwu) Village, Wancang Township, Pan'an County, the local area had already started planting Chinese torreya trees during the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi of Tang, Pan'an Chinese torreya was already a tribute to the court. In addition, there are many villages and place names related to "fei" in our county, such as fei li, fei wu, ban fei, fei shu xia, fei shu ling, etc., all of which have historical traces of the growth of fragrant fei. Up to now, there are more than 600 ancient Chinese fir trees in Huanglianwu, Dongchuan Village, Anwen Town, Pan'an County, among which the largest one is over 1500 years old and is known as the "King of Chinese Torreya"
