Just Fruits and Exotics: "A hardy variety, bred to withstand the harsh winters of China. Our most ornamental variety, Great Wall has an interesting tall, pointed shape and turns a brilliant shade of cherry pink in the fall. The fruit is sunset orange, with thick, rich, mango-flavored flesh. Ripens late September trun October. Zones 7-9. "
