Because the flesh of the Hengshan pear that was planted a dozen years or so ago is somewhat coarse and not very agreeable, pear farmers now high-graft Japanese pears to the tree to produce new high quality varieties, like New Century, Newcomer, or Lucky Water, popularly known as "gaojie" (" high-grafted ") pears.
由於十幾年前所種植的橫山種梨，肉質較粗不討喜，梨農利用橫山梨母樹嫁接日本梨，生產新世紀梨、新興梨、幸水梨、豐水梨等高級梨，俗稱「高接梨」。
