Eight years later, it enters the full fruit period, with a yield of 50-80 kg per plant and a height of 300 kg or even 500 kg for big trees.

Second, how to plant red bayberry?

1. Select the place

Although bayberry is a barren fruit tree and can be planted in most plots, if you want to improve its survival rate, it is better to use the slightly acidic soil on the hillside where the soil layer is deep and fertile and close to the water source. however, it should be noted that different kinds of planting plots need to be distinguished, for example, between 400 and 800 meters above sea level, it is appropriate to plant medium-and late-maturing varieties, and early-maturing varieties should be planted below 400 meters above sea level.

2. Planting

The planting time of red bayberry seedlings is generally better during the period from February to March in spring, when the temperature is more suitable for the growth of young trees before the red bayberry sprouts begin to sprout after the freezing period. in addition, in order to improve the survival rate of red bayberry seedlings, bayberry seedlings can be planted with strong adaptability, disease resistance and stress resistance, and attention should be paid to density. Generally, 25-30 bayberry seedlings can be planted per mu. As the crown of bayberry is huge and can be as high as 7-8 meters, in order to ensure the permeability of each plant, the seedlings should be upright and roots should be stretched and planted in large holes, in addition, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied, and attention should be paid to the proportion of male plants and fine pollen pollination.

3. Fertilization

In order to make the red bayberry seedlings grow rapidly and increase the yield after planting, fertilizer and water management is a key step. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer during the planting period, topdressing is also needed according to its growth stage. Generally, topdressing fertilizers are mainly plant ash and soil mixed fertilizer plus appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer, and the times of topdressing is 2-3 times a year, especially potash fertilizer should be applied during the fruit period. In addition, after planting 3-4 months, the root system of red bayberry will occupy the planting hole in Manding, which will hinder its growth, so it is necessary to loosen the surrounding soil in order to facilitate the root growth.

4. Shaping and pruning

In order to promote the multi-branching of the bayberry tree and form the crown to bear fruit earlier, it is necessary to carry out shaping and pruning during the growth period of the bayberry tree. Specifically, the top tip of the trunk can be cut off to promote the germination of the bayberry seedling after it has been planted and survived. After germination, only part of the upper bud is left and all the buds below are erased, so that nutrients can be concentrated and sturdy branches can be sent out. In the second year, take 2-3 strong main branches and 2-3 new buds on the main branch, so that it can continue to branch and form a round crown quickly. while cutting off the branches, all the diseases and insect branches, weak branches, overgrown branches, withered branches and dense branches which are disadvantageous to the growth of the main branch can be cut off to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients.

Summary: the above is about the price of bayberry seedlings and planting methods related to the introduction, I hope to help friends in need!
