According to the study of fossil data, Carya cathayensis was distributed in the eastern part of China during the Tertiary Oligocene from 40 million to 25 million years ago. In the middle and new century, some species of Carya cathayensis, betulaceae and Fagaceae have become the main components of subtropical deciduous-evergreen broad-leaved mixed forest in eastern China. Since then, due to the destruction of Quaternary glaciers, it has only been preserved in Tianmu Mountain area at the junction of Anhui and Zhejiang, and it is one of the existing ancient tree species. As the main producing area of Hickory in Tianmu Mountain, Hickory in Ningguo enjoys a long reputation. As early as the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing in the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded in the "Ningguo County Records": "Ningguo is mountainous and produces pecans, so it is born without peeling, hence the name." , "Millennium arrives, bamboo poles shake; Gold is everywhere, and the pole is picked. " Ningguo in our province is the hometown of Carya cathayensis, and the dew season is the day when Carya cathayensis opens its stems every year. However, for a long time, artificial climbing and picking, bamboo pole hitting, fruit falling and other methods have caused casualties almost every year. Therefore, hickory has a creepy name-"blood fruit".

Make Hickory Industry bigger and stronger, and enhance the reputation of Hickory in Ningguo.

Ningguo is known as "eight mountains, one water and half a field, half a manor". Ningguo Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government put the development of rural economy on the mountain and put forward the call of vigorously developing forestry economy. Carya cathayensis is a characteristic economic forest tree species in Ningguo City, which has promoted the development of Carya cathayensis industry to a new height.

Carya cathayensis is the only tree species in Tianmu Mountain range, and Lin 'an County, Zhejiang Province, which is only one mountain away from Ningguo City, is also a large county of Carya cathayensis, with planting scale and processing scale no less than Ningguo. However, the Ningguo Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government was far-sighted and judged the situation, and declared the title of "China hickory hometown" to the relevant state departments with 1996, which was successful. In order to make Ningguo hickory go to the whole country and the world, Ningguo held two sessions of "China Ningguo Hickory Festival" in June 2002 and June 2004, which greatly improved the popularity of Ningguo hickory.

Relying on the unique resources and ecological advantages, Ningguo City has accelerated the development of ecological agriculture, highlighted the development of "famous, special, rare and excellent" green food with mountain characteristics, and gradually formed pillar industries such as pecan, edible bamboo shoots, edible fungi, tea and vegetables. Among them, the hickory industry has developed the fastest.

According to the planning of agricultural industrialization in our city, Ningguo will build 3,000 hectares of intensive bases and cultivate and transform 4,000 hectares of low-yield hickory forests centering on the towns and villages at the foot of Tianmu Mountain, such as Antarctica, Wanjia, Xianxia, Xi Zhong and Jialu. On this basis, we will support a number of leading enterprises in hickory processing and set up the largest hickory production and processing enterprise group in China.

Since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, it is estimated that the scale of hickory base in our city will reach 1.74 million hectares, the intensive management area will be1.20 million hectares, and the annual output will exceed 8,000 tons, making the hickory industry half of the mountainous economy in Ningguo.

Protecting geographical products of hickory in Ningguo can improve the standardized production level of hickory in Ningguo, improve the quality of hickory products, protect the fundamental interests of fruit farmers and processing enterprises, and promote the sustained and healthy development of hickory industry in Ningguo. It can improve the popularity of Ningguo hickory, maintain its authentic brand position, prevent all kinds of fake and shoddy products from infringing on Ningguo hickory in the market, standardize the market order of Ningguo hickory, and pave the way for Ningguo hickory to move towards a more open market.
