The farmer, Xianzhang Hao, grew 10,000 of these pears in his backyard and now sells them for $9 each. He said he got the idea for the buddha shape from an old story about a mаɡісаɩ buddha shaped fruit that would give immortality to those who ate it. While these pears don’t do that, Xianzhang Hao says these pears bring good luck!
