How to plant red bayberry seeds

At the same time, some people who plant bayberry can be fruitful, while others have no harvest. Some people like to eat bayberry, while others plant bayberry that is very sour. Why? Let's go with the editor to learn how to grow everyone's favorite bayberry.

How to plant red bayberry seeds

The method of raising seedlings of red bayberry varies from place to place, mainly by grafting, but also by striping and ramet propagation. The red bayberry rootstock is the main rootstock. Seeds should be collected from strong and fine mother trees. The seed germination rate of fruiting trees is higher than that of cultivated species. Generally speaking, the germination rate of wild bayberry seeds is 30%, while the seed germination rate of cultivated species is mostly about 10%, but there are also relatively high seed emergence rates of late and early big species in Cixi County, Zhejiang Province, which can reach about 70%. The fruit used for seed collection should be fully ripe, and the fruit should be stacked for 5 days after harvest. After the pulp is rotten, it is washed and dried or buried in wet sand. Because the dry storage of red bayberry seeds is easy to lose the ability to germinate, it is mainly stored in sand. About 20 kg of seeds can be obtained for every 100 kg of fruit. Red bayberry is mainly sown in spring, and the seeding rate of seedbed seeder is 250 Mu 300 kg per mu. It germinated and unearthed one month after sowing, transplanted in May-June, and grafted 1-2 years after transplantation.

The grafting of bayberry is mainly branch grafting. The scion generally chooses the 1-2-year-old branches on the upper crown or the periphery of the crown of the high-yield tree with strong growth. For thicker rootstocks, 2-3-year-old branches should be selected for scions. Male red bayberry can be changed into female after grafting with female scion. The grafting period is generally from mid-March to early April. Because of the exuberant sap flow of bayberry, it is advantageous to be grafted early before sprouting in spring. Choose a sunny day without wind when grafting, preferably without rain within 4 days after grafting. Generally, the methods of grafting are split grafting, improved cutting and subcutaneous grafting.

The exuberant flow of red bayberry sap often affects the survival rate of grafting. In order to restrain the tree potential and reduce the sap rise at the root, the following measures can be taken:

1. Cutting off the root system: used for 2-3-year-old standing trees, then use a shovel to cut off part of the main and lateral roots from both sides of the seedlings.

2. Grafting in different places: dig out the rootstock before grafting, cut off part of the main and lateral roots, then change the land and plant, and then graft.

3. Digging and grafting: the rootstocks are dug up and grafted indoors, which are used for 2-3-year-old rootstocks, and then pseudo-planted or planted directly on the planting site.

4. slow retention of branches: it is widely used for large rootstocks, that is, grafting is carried out on the main branch, while another branch is left as a "water diversion technique".

In order to attract water to flow to this branch and slow down the growth of the grafting part.

The grafted seedlings in the nursery have many branches, and the weak branches should be removed at any time from June to July to promote the growth of the remaining shoots. In summer, if the temperature is higher, it is necessary to build a shed for shade to maintain a certain temperature and humidity in the nursery, so as to prevent the seedlings from dying. The sprouting tillers on the rootstocks should be wiped out in batches to reduce the consumption of nutrients, but the survival rate of grafting will sometimes be affected in addition to germination too early.

In addition, in Zhejiang Xiaoshan, Lanxi and other places, there are also striped reproduction. It usually takes place from February to March. That is, fill the soil under the canopy of the tree to be pressed to the lowest branch of about 15mur20cm, mix with coke ash and make a flat site above the ground. Cut the bottom of the branch to be pressed, pull it down and press it into the soil in the shape of a star, and then cover the soil with a thickness of about 10-15 cm, and the tip of the branch still shows the soil surface. In the place where it is buried, it is pressed with large stones to maintain a certain humidity and prevent shaking. After a year, it grows new roots at the burn site. In early April (around Ching Ming Festival), it is cut away from the mother with a sharp knife, moved into the nursery, and then cultivated for 1-2 years. Fruit growers in Lanxi cut off the crown of 4-5-year-old young trees and pressed them with soil-piling method to make them sprout. In this way, more than 20 new seedlings can be obtained from one tree. The seedling is formed quickly by pressing method, and the result is early. But the root system is shallow and the growth is weak.

What is the white bug after the bayberry is placed?

Red bayberry has the function of relieving thirst and relieving summer heat. In addition, it can also eliminate food, vomiting and diarrhea, dysentery, abdominal pain, cleaning intestines and stomach, relieving alcohol and so on. However, have you found that when the bayberry is soaked in salt water, some white bugs will climb out from the inside of the bayberry? Many people are worried about whether these red bayberry with worms can be eaten and what kind of damage it will cause to health. So someone specially took the bayberry to the testing institution for examination. it turned out that the white bug in the bayberry was the larva of the fruit fly.

Fruit fly larvae appear white, eating it is not only not harmful to health, but also rich in protein. But once the fruit fly larvae mature and turn black, they can't be eaten because they can cause damage to human health. Although it has been confirmed that the larvae inside bayberry can be used, after all, not everyone can stand the test of eating insects.

The market situation of bayberry planting

The bayberry industry has a broad market prospect, but the problems such as long planting cycle, concentrated maturity and intolerant storage and transportation of fresh fruits still restrict the development of bayberry industry to a certain extent. Red bayberry has rich nutritional value.

First, red bayberry is one of China's specialty fruits, known as "the first doubt a valuable daughter" reputation;

Second, the bayberry fruit is deeply loved by consumers because of its bright color, many juices, sweet and sour palatability and high nutritional value.

3. Red bayberry is a real green food, which contains various potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, cations and rich anthocyanins, flavonoids, selenium and other essential trace elements, especially selenium, which has the pharmacological effects of anti-aging and anti-cancer.

Fourth, red bayberry can remove phlegm, stop vomiting and digestion, invigorate body fluid and quench thirst, and the five internal organs, cleanse intestines and stomach, eliminate annoyance and evil qi, stop dysentery, dispel headache and so on.

Fifth, the bayberry fruit is generally ripe at the turn of spring and summer, and this is the time of the year when the shortage of fresh fruit, so it is generally welcomed by the public;

Sixth, because the fresh-keeping degree of red bayberry is very difficult, so the market price of red bayberry is relatively high, and planting red bayberry can increase farmers' income, which is one of the preferred fruit trees for farmers in mountainous areas to shake off poverty and become rich.

Whether fresh fruit or processed products, red bayberry is a very competitive product in the international market.

Matters needing attention in the selection of Waxberry Plantation

1. Altitude: generally speaking, most of red bayberry is cultivated in mountainous areas with an altitude of 50-500m. With the increase of altitude, the annual average temperature decreased, the temperature difference between day and night increased, and the fruit ripening period was delayed. Therefore, when building orchards, bayberry can be planted at different elevations to prolong the supply period of fresh fruit.

2. Slope direction: try to choose the north slope or the northeast slope. The south slope, especially the southeast slope, has sufficient light and high temperature. Although the fruit of red bayberry can be slightly earlier, the quality is not as good as that of the north slope. In the deep mountain valley or in the deep mountain basin, no matter which slope, as long as there is dense shade, the planted bayberry grows and bears good results.

3. Vegetation: site vegetation is often a sign of the degree of land fertility. For example, the soil dominated by dicotyledonous plants is often more fertile; in the dominant soil such as ferns, rhododendron and Cyclobalanopsis glauca oak, it is most suitable to cultivate bayberry.

4. Soil: Sandy soil is the best, followed by sand clay, followed by clayey soil.

5. Economic and geographical conditions: convenient transportation and communication conditions, good social security conditions, no pollution and serious air pollution are required.

6. Ecological conditions: the surrounding vegetation should be preserved as far as possible. If the vegetation around the orchard is well protected, the air relative humidity of the orchard is often balanced, there are many natural enemies of pests, there are fewer diseases and insect pests in the orchard, and the fruit quality is also good.

In fact, if you want to grow a good bayberry, the choice of the first choice of plantation can not be ignored. The taste of the fruit produced by different soil and water, different environment, and different sunshine is different, so we should not underestimate this small bayberry. In fact, its planting contains a lot of technical skills and knowledge.
