1. How to grow bayberry?

1. Selection of land

Myrica rubra is not very demanding for soil, so it can be planted in general plots and even barren soil, but the most suitable place is hillside plots close to water sources and fertile and deep slightly acidic soil. In addition, attention should be paid to separating mature and listed myrica varieties, planting middle-late myrica varieties in areas between 400-800 meters above sea level, and planting early-maturing myrica varieties in areas below 400 meters above sea level.

2. Planting

After selecting the plot, it is better to select the seedlings with strong adaptability, stress resistance and disease resistance before planting, which is conducive to improving the survival rate. The best time for planting is February to March in spring, when the temperature is more suitable for the growth of young trees. In addition, the crown of bayberry tree is huge, and can be as high as 7-8 meters. In order to ensure the permeability of each plant, attention should be paid to the density during planting. Generally, about 25-30 plants per mu can be planted. When planting, attention should be paid to applying sufficient base fertilizer to large holes and seedlings, righting seedlings, spreading roots and deep planting. Attention should be paid to the proportion of male plants and adopting excellent pollen pollination.

3. Fertilization management

In order to increase the yield of bayberry and make the tree grow rapidly, fertilization management is essential. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer, topdressing should be carried out according to the growth stage. Generally, topdressing fertilizer is mainly soil fertilizer and plant ash, plus appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer. Generally, topdressing fertilizer is applied 2-3 times a year, but potassium fertilizer should be applied emphatically at the fruit stage of bayberry. In addition, after three or four months of planting, it is necessary to carry out deep ploughing and loosening of the surrounding soil, because at this time the roots of bayberry will occupy the planting holes, and its growth will be hindered by hard soil or stones, so deep ploughing and loosening is beneficial to the growth of roots.

4. Shaping and pruning

During the planting period of Chinese bayberry, shaping and pruning can promote multiple branches to form tree crown to bear fruit early. The specific operation method of shaping and pruning is that after the seedling is planted and survived, in order to promote the germination, the top tip of the trunk needs to be cut off first, after waiting for germination, the upper part of buds is reserved, and the lower buds are completely wiped off, so that nutrients can be concentrated and thick branches can be promoted. Wait until the second year to take 2-3 strong main branches, cut off the rest of the branches, and then leave 2-3 new buds on the main branches to continue branching, which can quickly form a round crown. In addition, pruning needs to cut off all weak, withered, over-dense, infected and overgrown branches that are unfavorable to the growth of main branches, and old branches need to be cut off after harvesting fruits to avoid excessive nutrient consumption.

II. What are the market prospects and benefits of planting bayberry?

1. Market outlook

The content of calcium, phosphorus and iron in bayberry fruit is more than 10 times higher than that of other fruits. It has high nutritional value and has the effect of promoting salivation and quenching thirst. It is a natural green health food with wide uses. It can not only be used as ornamental greening seedlings, forest fire prevention, etc., but also extract flavonoids and essential oils from leaves, roots and branches of bayberry to be used as russet and medical astringent.

Myrica rubra is mainly planted in coastal provinces, especially in Yungui area. The mature period of myrica rubra is early, the quality is excellent, the storage period is long, the production cost is low, and the economic benefit is high. At present, the planting area in western China is relatively small. Therefore, if it is induced labor to develop production in western China, the prospect will be very broad.

In addition, bayberry can also promote the healthy development of tourism and other leading industries, not only as a tourist attraction, its fresh fruit can also be processed into dried bayberry, bayberry juice, preserved bayberry, bayberry fruit wine and other products, in addition to domestic in the international market is also very popular, so it seems that with the continuous development of science and technology, bayberry future market prospects will be very broad.

2. Benefits

Generally, the cost of planting one mu of bayberry includes 3600 yuan for 12000 seedlings, 7200 yuan for fertilizer and pesticide, etc. The growth cycle of bayberry is 3 years. If the well-managed bayberry can produce 50 kilograms per mu, according to the market price of 50 yuan per kilogram, planting one mu of bayberry has 22500 yuan. The net profit after deducting the cost and other expenses is 18300 yuan. The ratio of input to output is 1:3. Moreover, bayberry has a wide range of uses. Large-scale planting of bayberry can not only directly sell fruits, deeply process bayberry, make bayberry wine and other products for sale, but also develop tourism and sightseeing as scenic spots. In this way, the benefits of planting bayberry are still very good.

Summary: The above is about bayberry planting methods, market prospects and benefits related to the introduction, I hope to have a friend in need of help!
