河南省內(nèi)鄉(xiāng)縣1984年果樹(shù)資源調(diào)查時(shí),也發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種冬梨,它的成熟期在n月底至12月上旬,并可貯放到翌年4月。
       
    冬梨目前主要存在于內(nèi)鄉(xiāng)縣北部深山區(qū)的馬山、七里坪兩鄉(xiāng)交界處的寶夭坦自然保護(hù)區(qū)南面。據(jù)調(diào)查,解放初平原丘陵也較多,1958年大煉鋼鐵時(shí)基本毀盡。現(xiàn)在全縣約有37株冬梨樹(shù)。 冬梨樹(shù)生長(zhǎng)慢,壽命長(zhǎng),耐膺薄,產(chǎn)量高而穩(wěn)。七里坪鄉(xiāng)靳河村深山獨(dú)居戶劉寶聚家有4株冬梨樹(shù),最大樹(shù)近百年,胸徑18·3厘米,干高2.4米,冠高3.5 米,冠幅4.7米,單株產(chǎn)量2985年520斤,1986年430斤。
        
    冬梨成熟時(shí)果面金黃色,果實(shí)倒卵形,單果重150一160克,肉質(zhì)細(xì)白,味香脆甜,品質(zhì)好。
        
    冬梨具有潤(rùn)肺止咳的特殊療效,常備用于防治老人氣管炎等疾病。


    
    Neiciang winter pears mainly exist in deep mountain regions in the Northern Neixiang County. This pear tree grows slowly but has a long lifetime, high and steady yield and can resist dead soil. The fruits get mature from end of November to the beginning of December and can be stored till next April. They are in golden yellow color and inverted ovate shapes, which have good quality and taste. A single one weights 150 to 160g. Winter pears can nourish spleen and quit cough, and are always used to prevent old people's tracheitis.
