[The Story: "Ping Guo Yuan"] The "Apple Garden" (Ping Guo Yuan) is arguably the most famous historical variety of Lion Head walnuts.

  • The Name: It is named for its distinctive shape—plump, round, and full, resembling a perfect apple.
  • The Legend: Originally from a specific tree in Beijing, this variety is prized for its "Gold Coin Base" (a beautiful pattern on the bottom) and its ability to turn a brilliant agate red color very quickly.

[Why this pair (#AG-11) is a Collector's Choice?]

  • The "Golden Size" (38mm): While many chase giant walnuts, seasoned players know that 38mm-40mm is the "Golden Range" for comfort. Pair #AG-11 fits perfectly in the palm, allowing for agile rotation without straining your fingers. Ideally suited for daily carry (EDC).
  • Classic Round Shape: As seen in the photos, this pair features the signature high, round shoulders of the Apple Garden variety. It feels incredibly smooth and full in the hand.
  • Beautiful Base: The bottom (base) is tight and features the classic pattern, ensuring they stand elegantly when displayed.

🛡️ Care Guide: How to protect your walnuts Walnuts are organic wood gems. They are alive and reacting to the environment.

✅ DO:

  • Brush Often: Use a nanometer brush (included/recommended) to keep dust out of the textures.
  • Clean Hands: Your natural oils are the best polish.
  • Rest Them: Let them adjust to your room temperature for 12 hours before playing.

❌ DON'T:

  • NO A/C or Heaters: Never leave them directly under an air conditioner or next to a heater. Sudden temperature shock causes cracks.
  • NO Water: Do not wash them with water. If they get wet, dry immediately.
  • NO Drops: They are dense but can chip if dropped on hard surfaces.
