Yi Yuan Red Golden Bullet (Jin Dan Zi - Yi Yuan Hong)

Yi Yuan Red is the most outstanding and highly ornamental red-fruited cultivar among all Golden Bullet (Jin Dan Zi) varieties — often praised as the “Ruby of Golden Bullet”.

Its most striking feature is the exceptionally vibrant fruit color: the fruits of Yi Yuan Red are the reddest and brightest of all Jin Dan Zi varieties. When fully ripe, they glow like polished red agate or rubies, with a smooth, waxy, and lustrous surface that shines brilliantly under light, creating an incredibly eye-catching effect. Clusters of these vivid red fruits hanging densely on the branches offer a festive and lively visual spectacle.

In addition, the new buds and leaf tips exhibit a beautiful bright red tint, providing a stunning contrast against the deep green mature leaves. This red-green combination makes the plant highly decorative throughout the growing season.

With abundant fruiting, a long fruiting period, and easy maintenance, Yi Yuan Red stands out as the top red-fruited selection in the Jin Dan Zi family. It is an excellent choice for bonsai, garden landscaping, and indoor ornamental display, highly sought after by plant enthusiasts and collectors.
