“The average height in Nyingchi, Tibet is 3,100 m. There is quite a big difference between day and night temperatures, a lot of sunlight .

Black Diamond Apples | Unique Variety of Chinese apples

“Since 2012, we have been growing black diamond apples in a 50 hectare territory. And only in 2015, our 20,000 trees brought the first fruits of exactly the quality that we wanted. This year production will be about 50,000 kilograms. Black apples are delivered to the market at the end of the year and are sold for about two months. ”
“Since production in China is limited and distribution costs are quite
high, black diamond apples belong to the high-end segment of the market.
We mainly sell them in gift packs of 6 or 8 apples. Last year, a small
number of our apples were sold to prestigious Chinese supermarkets,
where they were met very well. That is why we will sell them online and
offline this year. We will sell about 50,000 kilograms for large
e-commerce, distributors and luxury supermarkets in cities in China,
such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
