Torreya is a rare fruit in my country and a famous specialty of Zhejiang Province. The hometown of torreya in China is Zhuji, the hometown of Xishi. There are high mountains and ridges in the torreya township, with an altitude of 800 to 1,000 meters. The torreya grows on the thousand-year-old fruit trees in the deep mountains and old forests. It was called "Three Generations of Thousand-Year Torreya Fruit" in ancient times. It had a certain reputation as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and enjoyed great fame in the Tang Dynasty. So far, torreya is well-known at home and abroad, and its fragrance spreads all over the world.

The torreya tree has a lifespan of 400-500 years, so it is known as the "longevity tree". The fruit of the torreya tree is also very strange. It takes two years for the first generation of fruits to mature. Together with the picked dried fruits, they are called "third generation fruits". Zhejiang has the largest torreya production, while Fengqiao's torreya production accounts for most of the county and has the best quality, so Fengqiao is known as the "hometown of torreya".

Torreya can be used as medicine, which can reduce phlegm, quench thirst, clear the lungs and moisten the intestines.
