Propagation methods of Waxberry

Red bayberry is a kind of sweet and sour juicy fruit, which has a certain distribution in all parts of our country. Red bayberry wine, red bayberry juice and preserved red bayberry fruit derived from bayberry are very popular. So now red bayberry also has a certain planting area. However, how to reproduce when planting bayberry is a question that many people are thinking about. So the editor brings you the breeding method of red bayberry today, let's have a look!

1. Striping propagation

Striping propagation is one of the most commonly used propagation methods of red bayberry. Generally carried out in spring, we should first select a plant with strong growth and high yield as the mother plant, and then select sturdy, disease-free branches as strips. First of all, the top of the strip is longitudinally carved about 3 times until the xylem of the branch. Or peel the branch around 3 cm, then press the branch into the soil and spray an appropriate amount of rooting agent to promote the branch to take root. After spraying, cover the fine soil of 6-7 cm, and place some heavy objects on the fine soil to avoid being blown by the leeward. Under normal management, it usually takes about two months to take root at the ring peel. Then cut off about 4 cm below the new root before transplanting to make it a new plant, which can be transplanted about a year later.

2. Seed reproduction

Red bayberry has two kinds of planting directions, such as edible and ornamental. When planting ornamental bayberry, it is generally based on seed reproduction. First of all, the seeds should be collected from the sturdy trees. The kernel of the seed determines its germination rate, so we should pay attention to check the kernel of the fruit when collecting the seed. To breed, choose seeds that are full and ripe. After harvest, soak the fruit in water for a week or so until the pulp is rotten, wash it clean and remove the seeds. Then pick out the robust seeds and soak them in salt water for 1-2 weeks. Then choose the fertile, deep and soft soil as the seedbed, and spread the seeds evenly on the soil. Then cover the fine soil, generally around four weeks can be unearthed. When the seedlings grow to about 9 cm, carry out inter-seedling work and fertilize properly. After a year or so, it grows into a real seedling and can be transplanted at the right time.

3. Grafting propagation

Another method of propagation is grafting propagation, which effectively retains the excellent characteristics of the original varieties and improves the planting efficiency. Generally, grafting is carried out before and after Ching Ming Festival, and the grafting method is mainly branch grafting. It is necessary to select the left and right scions of branches with high yield, strong disease resistance and good quality, and about two-year-old seedlings around rootstocks. Keep the scion at about 13 cm, leave a section at the top and cut off the top. And we have to cut off the main root after grafting for rootstocks of about one centimeter. Remove the top of the rootstock 2-3 weeks before grafting to avoid strong rootstock growth and affect the survival of grafted seedlings.

The above is a brief introduction to the breeding methods of red bayberry. As the planting direction of red bayberry is different, its breeding methods will be different. Therefore, when we breed bayberry, we must choose a good breeding method according to the planting direction. This is the end of today's introduction, this article is for reference only, I hope it can be helpful to everyone!
