Guogou Village Grape King Old Tree Introduction
In the year of the Republic 53 (1964), farmers in Dacun Township introduced 6 Giant Hiroshima grapevines from Japan, planting them at their doorsteps in Guogou Village. Due to excellent management and a suitable climate, the farmers propagated many seedlings through cuttings and grafting, leading to the development of a grape industry in Dacun, which became known as the hometown of grapes. Currently, only 2 of the original 6 grapevines remain alive, but under the care of new owners for the past 7 or 8 years, they are flourishing, producing clusters of grapes that are 3 to 4 times larger than regular grapes and with a flavor that is superior to typical varieties.
