Can bayberry be planted in the north?

Red bayberry is planted in most parts of our country, but red bayberry is a sunny plant, so it is more suitable for the southern environment. The taste of red bayberry fruit actually has a lot to do with its planting soil. Different sunshine time, different temperature, different zones produce different taste of red bayberry.

Can bayberry be planted in the north?

Not in the north, the basic moisture conditions and temperature can not be reached! Even if there is, it is impossible to grow normally! Biological characteristics: like warm, humid and cloudy climate. Not resistant to strong light, not resistant to cold. It is suitable to plant acid yellow soil with north or east direction, deep soil layer, loose and fertile soil and good drainage. Myrica rubra grows in mountains and hills, the crown is tall, wet and shady, the temperature requires 15 ℃ to 30 ℃, and the red-yellow loose soil with slightly acidic soil and gravel sand is the most suitable. The suitable annual average temperature of red bayberry is between 15-21 ℃, but it is cold-resistant and can withstand a low temperature of no less than-9 ℃. Annual precipitation requires 1000-l500mm, but the flowering period requires sunny days and fruit ripening should not be too much Rain Water. It is more shady, but it is still better to have more sunshine. Red bayberry is suitable for loam with soft, good drainage, gravel and pH 4-5. Shallowly avoid strong winds.

The influence of terrain on Myrica rubra

Due to different mountain types, it has different effects on the growth of red bayberry.

1. Piedmont slope: the red bayberry in the main producing areas is the most in the foothills. Due to the low topography and high soil water content, the taste of bayberry fruit is a little thin.

2. Mountain valleys: this kind of soil layer is deep and expensive, with large bayberry fruit shape and excellent quality.

3. Steep hillside: this kind of soil is thin and can achieve large fruit. The taste is delicious, but the output is low.

Methods of improving Fruit quality of Waxberry

1. Select improved varieties

Excellent varieties are one of the core forces for fruits to participate in market competition. Suzhou area is rich in bayberry germplasm resources, about 30 species, as breeding resources have unique natural conditions, but not all varieties can be used as the main varieties for commercial production. At present, due to the traditional use of seed reproduction in Suzhou bayberry producing area, which leads to mixed varieties and mixed fruit quality, it has become one of the reasons that can not reflect the superior quality of local bayberry. Therefore, the new or old areas should choose excellent varieties with large fruit, thin skin, juicy sweet, high edible rate and strong resistance, such as big leaf fine pedicel, small leaf fine pedicel, Dongting bayberry, prodigal son and so on.

2. Scientific fertilization

The fertilizer demand of red bayberry is different from that of other fruit trees. if improper fertilization, it not only affects the yield of red bayberry, but also has a great impact on the fruit quality of red bayberry. For example, there is symbiosis of actinomycetes in the roots of red bayberry, forming grayish-yellow fleshy root nodules, and actinomycetes can fix nitrogen, provide nitrogen nutrition for bayberry trees, and partial application of nitrogen fertilizer, resulting in excessive growth of trees and difficult to form flower buds; if phosphate fertilizer is used too much, it will result in too much fruit. even most of the fruits become deformed, stiff, cracked small fruits, ignorant acid, poor coloring, delayed ripening, and loss of commercial value. The application of potassium fertilizer could significantly increase the yield and improve the fruit quality of red bayberry. In Suzhou bayberry producing area, the fertilizer was applied once a year or not, but now it was applied twice a year, that is, around May 20, the strong fruit fertilizer was applied once, and the plant was applied with 100VRV 25RV 125 nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer lkg. After the fruit was harvested in early July, the plant applied sheep stable fertilizer 40. At the same time, we should pay attention to more fertilizer in big year and less fertilizer in small year. It can also supplement trace elements with extra-root fertilization according to the need to improve fruit quality.

3. Flower and fruit management

Red bayberry has a large number of flowers, if more fruits are left, not only the fruit quality will decline, but also have a great effect on the yield in the coming year. Therefore, fruit management is an important link to improve the quality of red bayberry. The method of artificial fruit thinning is mainly used in Suzhou area. generally speaking, there are 2-3 fruits per fruiting branch and only 1-2 fruits per branch, mainly 1 in Suzhou area. weak branches and extended crown branches generally do not leave fruit. After implementing the measures of flower and fruit thinning, the nutrient distribution of the tree is reasonable, the fruit is large, the quality is good, and the fruit size is the same.

4. Tree regulation

Both spring and summer shoots of red bayberry can form fruiting shoots, but mainly spring shoots, which have strong branching ability and poor management, and it is easy to lose the balance between vegetative growth and reproductive growth, thus affecting the yield. In Suzhou area, overdense branches and cross branches are generally retracted or removed from February to March, cutting off disease and insect branches, dead branches and too many fruiting branches from the base. The amount of pruning is generally 20% 30% of the total tree branches, cutting short fruiting branches to promote a larger number of spring shoots.

5. Timely harvest

The harvest time of red bayberry has a great influence on the fruit quality and yield. the earlier it is picked before it is fully ripe, the worse the quality is. Some fruit growers in Suzhou area harvest immature fruit for immediate benefit, which not only has low yield, but also reduces income because of poor quality and low price. Timely harvest is one of the effective measures to maintain the inherent quality of red bayberry. When harvesting, the fruit should be picked along with ripening to prevent excessive fruit ripening, resulting in fruit drop or decay. Generally, the best picking time is in the first and middle of June in Suzhou area, and the best harvest time is when the fruit is purple-red or purple-black. Red bayberry varieties are fully hypertrophic, bright, purplish red or purplish as the sign of maturity. In order to improve the fruit quality of red bayberry, in addition to the above cultivation measures, we should also pay attention to the suitable planting, pay attention to the slope direction, and pay attention to the effects of temperature, humidity, light, wind and other climatic factors on fruit quality. In providing safe fruits for the market, attention should be paid to the use of green pesticides and green fertilizers.

Planting methods of Myrica rubra

The main results are as follows: 1. the best propagation time: when the temperature has begun to warm from late February to mid-March, it is best to choose cloudy or light rainy days.

2. The best growth soil: bayberry is suitable for cultivation in acidic or slightly acidic red soil or yellow soil, including purple soil and other mountainous areas. The sandy loam with loose soil, good drainage, gravel and pH between 4.5 and 6.5 is better.

3. Growth humidity requirements: red bayberry trees are very wet and shady. Generally speaking, when Rain Water is sufficient and moist, the tree will grow luxuriantly, begin to bear fruit early, and have high yield and good quality. For this reason, the annual rainfall is required to be more than 1000 mm.

4. The best growth temperature: red bayberry has a warm climate. Its temperature requirement is similar to that of loquat and citrus. The most suitable temperature is 15-20 ℃ for annual average temperature,-5 ℃ for seedlings and-12 ℃ for cultivated trees.

5. The best growth light: the bayberry tree does not have strict requirements for sunshine, but according to the general law, the shady mountain or north slope with less sunlight not only grows well, but also the fruit is soft and juicy and has a good flavor.

Therefore, if fruit growers want to grow red bayberry that everyone likes, they must first understand the growth habits and environment of red bayberry. In fact, they should master some techniques and methods of planting red bayberry, so that they can avoid a lot of detours. Reduce unnecessary economic losses and create more profit returns.
