After years of self pollination, purification, and systematic breeding, Yuzijiao has been selected. This variety has an upright plant type and a large plant width. Young fruits are light green, mature fruits are milky white with purple spots, light yellow during the color transition period, and mature fruits are orange. The longitudinal diameter is 3.43 cm, the transverse diameter is 2.04 cm. The number of fruits per plant is about 125, with an average weight of 1.93 g. In the 2018-2019 production experiment, the average 667 m2 yield was 625.29-659.80 kg. This variety has the characteristics of vigorous growth, early maturity, and good fruit setting under protected cultivation conditions, and can be planted in spring and autumn.
