Below, the editor recommends several bayberry varieties with good reputations for everyone.

1. Which bayberry variety is the best?

1. Dongkui Bayberry

A large-fruit, late-maturing variety. A single fruit originally weighs 20-25 grams, the fruit color is purple-red, the flesh columns are relatively thick, the soluble solids are 13.5%, its sugar content is 10.5%, its juice content is 74%, and its acid content is only 1.35%, far superior to other bayberries.

2. Biqi Bayberry

Biqi Bayberry is a famous improved variety in China, originally produced in Yuyao, and is the main variety planted in Yuyao City, so it is also called Yuyao Bayberry. It has been promoted to provinces and regions across southern China. In Guizhou it is called Keji Bayberry, in Jiangxi it is called hybrid bayberry, and in Yunnan it is also called dashu bayberry. This variety has broad adaptability, early fruiting, and high-yield characteristics, and can show early fruiting and high yield under production conditions in multiple regions and environments. It is a major variety promoted in China.

3. Wandao Bayberry

Wandao Bayberry, originally from Dinghai, Zhejiang, is a late-maturing variety and one of the "four great improved varieties" of bayberry in our country. This variety has excellent quality and good processing performance, a relatively long economic life, and relatively strong stress resistance.

2. Grafting time and methods for bayberry trees

1. Grafting time

The suitable time for grafting bayberry is before spring budbreak, generally from early February to late March. The climate during this period is relatively suitable, and after the graft survives, it can immediately sprout and grow. The grafting time must not be later than around Qingming Festival. If grafting is too late, the sap flow in the bayberry tree will be relatively greater, and too much liquid will flow out during grafting, thus affecting the survival rate of the graft.

2. Selecting branches

From a high-yielding bayberry tree that has entered full fruiting, cut a section of robustly growing branch, preferably a 1-2 year old branch from the middle-upper part of the canopy and growing on the outer periphery, and trim the branch into a 6-7 cm scion.

3. Preparing the rootstock

The rootstock is generally a wild-sown bayberry seedling or a self-sown sapling, usually a high-quality bayberry seedling grown from seed for 2-3 years. This is more conducive to graft survival.

4. Proper grafting

When grafting, cut the base of the scion into a wedge shape, then fit it tightly against the rootstock, and then wrap and bind them together with plastic film. This is to reduce water evaporation from the scion and improve the survival rate.
