Japanese farmers growing heart-shaped mandarin oranges
Video shows farmers in Yawatahama fastening select oranges inside the wood and metal tube mechanism. The fruit is then grown to fit a V-shape on the bottom and a twice-rounded top. Voila! A heart!
The farmers tell NTV that they had about a 60 percent success rate with the method last year, yielding approximately 250 heart-shaped oranges. They hope this will help them sell more oranges.
