A detailed explanation of the key points of bayberry cultivation techniques, clarifying the planting method in one article

Bayberry is a common tree in life. It can not only serve as a landscaping tree, but its fruit can also be eaten. Now many well-known parks also plant some. So what are the key points of bayberry cultivation techniques?

1. Seedling selection

When selecting seedlings, try to choose those with relatively vigorous roots, relatively lush branches and leaves, and a relatively green color.

2. Temperature

Bayberry has strong cold resistance. The most suitable growing environment is around 15-25°C. If it is in an environment of around minus 9°C, it can still grow without any artificial heat preservation. But if the temperature is higher than 30°C, if artificial cooling is not carried out, it will suffocate and die.

3. Timely transplanting

Bayberry trees are generally transplanted in spring from February to March. At this time, their growth ability is very strong, and after transplanting they can adapt to the new environment more quickly.

4. Planting

Before planting, first dig a hole about 1*0.8 m wide and deep, then apply a sufficient amount of farmyard manure as base fertilizer, and it can also be applied together with a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer. When planting, plant at a row and plant spacing of 5*4 m, which allows better photosynthesis.

5. Management techniques after planting

(1) Pruning and shaping: Before planting, first prune most of the branches and leaves, leaving only the branches and leaves at the middle top, then bind and wrap the branches whose leaves have been cut off. This helps them quickly grow new buds in the new environment and also helps improve the survival rate. After planting, water them. Generally, water about 3 times a day until new buds grow on the cut branches, then stop watering.

(2) Reasonable fertilization: After planting, generally 2-3 fertilizations are needed each year, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, applied together with phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, which helps promote the growth of the saplings. When they bloom and bear fruit, apply additional farmyard manure and urea. During the fruit-setting period, mainly apply boron fertilizer. During the annual dormant period, appropriately supplement soil fertility to prepare in advance for the coming year.

Overall, bayberry is easy to cultivate. The key technical points are mainly controlling temperature well, timely fertilization, reasonable pruning, and so on.
