Gao Xianzhang has managed to create what some would call the holiest fruits ever, pears shaped like Buddha.

Gao has been working on his pear-growing technique for six years and this season he managed to grow 10,000 Buddha-shaped baby pears. Each fruit is grown in an intricate Buddha mould and ends up looking like a juicy figurine. The ingenious farmer says the locals in his home village of Hexia, norther China, have been buying his Buddha pears as soon as he picks them from the trees. Most of them think they are cute and that they bring good luck.

Gao Xianzhang pears aren�t cheap, roughly $1.8 each, but their success in China convinced him to start exporting them into Europe.

That's cool that people buy it for luck, but it's going to rot, so do they just wait until it rots, and then go buy a new one everytime?

[G-D]

that's cool.
i should make a mold of something and try to make someone grow into that shape.
