A kind of cherry is said to be cultivated in the Uao-yang district; but it is more probably the firuit of Pnsnus tomentotM, Thunb. Cob-nuts, flat-topped from CoryUu heterophyUa^ Fish^ and pointed from Corjfhis rasiraia^ Ait.^ grow wild in the hills ; but they are of veiy poor quality. Jujubes — known as ^red dates" (Hung tsao)— -are the fruit of Zigjfphus xmlgarity Lam^ and are largely used in making sweetmeats. The fruit of the hawthorn (Shan cha — Crakpgui pmnoHfidOf Bunge) grows to a large s...ize, and is highly appreciated as a condiment. Strawberries, barberries, gooseberries and currants are found wild, but they are not cultivated except in the gardens of foreign residents.
