[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.
