1. Site and seed selection: Choose hillside plots close to water sources with deep and fertile soil as planting sites, with an altitude between 400-800 meters, and plant mid-late maturing varieties. , with an altitude below 400 meters, planting early maturing varieties. 2. Planting: The planting time is generally from February to March. Pay attention to the density when planting, which is generally 25-30 plants/acre. 3. Fertilizer and water management: Apply sufficient base fertilizer when planting, and perform top dressing according to the growth stage of the bayberry tree.

1. Bayberry planting technology

1. Site selection and seed selection

(1) If the altitude of the planting site is between 400-800 meters, generally You can choose mid- to late-maturing varieties for planting. If the altitude of the planting site is below 400 meters, you can generally choose early-maturing varieties for planting.

(2) Bayberry is a fruit tree that can tolerate barrenness. It can be planted in most plots, but it is most suitable for hillside plots near water sources and deep, fertile, slightly acidic soil. It is suitable. When planting, attention should be paid to extending the maturity period and the market period.

2. Planting

(1) Select saplings with strong adaptability, stress resistance, disease resistance and high yield as planting objects. The suitable time for planting is generally spring, that is, February to March, because the temperature at this time is more suitable for the growth of saplings, and the survival rate can be improved after planting.

(2) When the bayberry tree grows up, its height can reach 7-8 meters, and its crown is huge. In order to increase the permeability between plants, attention should be paid to the density when planting. The appropriate planting density is generally 25-30 plants/acre.

(3) When planting, make sure the holes are large and the seedlings are big, and apply sufficient base fertilizer. The planting principles are to straighten the seedlings, spread the roots, and plant deeply. In addition, attention should be paid to the proportion of male plants to provide excellent pollen.

3. Fertilizer and water management

(1) In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer when planting, top dressing must be carried out according to the growth stage of the bayberry tree to make it rapid. growth, increased yield. Top dressing is generally based on plant ash and soil fertilizers, supplemented by appropriate amounts of chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers. Under normal circumstances, topdressing fertilizer should be applied 2-3 times a year, with emphasis on potassium fertilizer during the fruiting period.

(2) After 3-4 months of planting, the roots of the bayberry tree will fill the planting hole. At this time, continued growth will be hindered by hard soil or stones, so the surrounding area must be plowed deeply. The soil creates a favorable environment for root growth.

4. Plastic pruning

(1) In order to encourage the plant to branch more, form a crown, and bear fruit earlier, the plant needs to be plastically pruned. The specific method is to cut off the top of the main stem after the seedlings have been successfully transplanted to encourage them to germinate. After germination, wipe out all the lower buds, leaving only the upper buds to concentrate the nutrients, so that they can grow strong. branch. In the second year, keep 2-3 strong main branches, cut off the remaining branches, and keep 2-3 new shoots on the main branches to continue branching, so that a round crown can be quickly formed.

(2) When pruning, pay attention to cutting off diseased branches, weak branches, leggy branches, dead branches, and dense branches, because they are not conducive to the growth of the main branches. After harvesting the fruits, prune off old branches to avoid excessive consumption of plant nutrients.

2. Bayberry planting conditions and areas

1. Planting conditions

(1) The pH value of the soil is 4.5-6 The slightly acidic soil is more conducive to the growth of bayberry trees, while the saline-alkaline soil is not suitable for planting bayberry trees.

(2) The annual average temperature needs to be between 15-20℃, and the minimum temperature cannot be lower than -9℃.

(3) Bayberry tolerates moisture and shade. The planting site requires sufficient moisture and the annual rainfall is more than 1,300 mm.

2. Planting areas

Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province, Jiangxi Province, Yunnan Province, Hunan Province, Guizhou Province, Taiwan Province, Zhejiang Province, Bayberry can be grown in Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, Fujian Province, Sichuan Province and other places.
