After April, the plums turn ripe and the plum fruits are growing in clusters. The green plums are hanging high and those of fifty to sixty percent ripe will be harvested. Plum picking is a labor-intensive job. It will take forever to pick one by one. Therefore, plum farmers consisting of a group of three or five people will place a large piece of plastic cloth under the plum tree, knock the fruit with long bamboo poles, let the fruit and leaves fall. When the fruits of the fruit tree is almost down, the following work will be gathering plum and packing in plastic mesh bags. After processing, they are sent to green plum processing plant for treatment.
