Which place is pomelo a specialty?

Speaking of the origin of the name of Wen Dan Pomelo, the "wen" in the name means literati, and "dan" means the female role of the Puxian Opera Troupe. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Dengqing, a scholar from Tanbian Village in the town, introduced pomelo from Jinhua, Zhejiang. The pomelo he produced was large but less juicy and had residue. He learned that Wu Jiemu, a famous female actor in the Puxian Opera in the same village, had a pomelo tree at home. The fruit was small but juicy, seedless and residue-free. So he asked the fruit craftsman to cut the pomelo spikes from the pomelo tree planted by Wu Jiemu and graft them onto his own pomelo tree. After careful cultivation, the newly grafted pomelo tree bore fruit. The two were very happy and named this pomelo "Wendan Pomelo" according to their respective identities.

Yuhuan Wendan is a specialty of Yuhuan County, Zhejiang Province. There are many Wendan bases in Yuhuan, the main ones are Taishantang Wendan Base, Yangen Wendan Base, Zhangao Wendan Base, Hongshatang Wendan Base, and Yucheng Wendan Base. People from each base say that the Wendan produced in their base is more delicious than the Wendan produced in other bases. In fact, that is said to laymen. If Wendan is planted there without fertilizer and management, then according to the soil, Wendan planted in the pond should be delicious, because the pond is saline-alkali land with high potassium content, so the fruit tastes good. The highest yield is in the yellow mud land, because the yellow mud land is fertile and the content of various elements is good. The worst is the land opened up on the rock cliff, the soil and rock mixed land is barren and the soil layer is thin, and the fruit is small and unpalatable. If there is human intervention, it will be different. By improving the soil, delicious Wendan can be grown even in the rock pile. In fact, to be precise, it should be the Wendan planted by someone who is delicious, and the climate and variety planted by everyone are the same. It depends on the planting skills. Improve the quality of pomelo by improving soil, fertilizing, controlling water, increasing light, delaying harvesting, and other technical means to make pomelo taste good. The cost of producing good pomelo is lower if the soil is better, and the cost of producing good pomelo is lower if the soil is poor. Many growers lack planting experience, or in order to achieve high yields and low costs, they apply more nitrogen fertilizer, less potassium fertilizer, and no trace elements. In this way, even the best land can only produce unpalatable pomelo. The pomelo I grow at home is high in moisture, sweet, and tastes good, making people want to eat more.
