Generally, it takes about 4 to 5 years to bear fruit after Myrica rubra planting. When bayberry grows to the eighth year, it will enter a vigorous fruiting period. However, there will be some differences in time due to different varieties. For example, some excellent red bayberry varieties can bear fruit in two or three years after planting, while some native red bayberry varieties take five or six years to bear fruit. 1、 Red bayberry will bear fruit in a few years. Generally, red bayberry will blossom and bear fruit in 4-5 years after planting, and some varieties will bear fruit only in 5-6 years. If the grafting method is adopted, excellent varieties can be selected for grafting, and the results can be achieved in 2-3 years. Moreover, Myrica rubra belongs to high-yield fruit, and the yield of each plant is about 40-50 kg. 2、 How to maintain bayberry 1. Fertilization: pay attention to the principle of thin fertilizer and more application. Control the amount of fertilizer each time, and increase the amount of fertilizer for adult plants.
2. Pruning: plants at all stages should be pruned. Prune into a suitable plant type in infancy and prune side branches in adulthood.
3. Pest control: pine caterpillar is a common pest of bayberry tree, which needs to be sprayed with insecticide in time for control.
4. The demand for light is not high. Bayberry is relatively shade resistant and grows better in a dark environment. In summer, we should pay attention to shading. 3、 What to do if Myrica rubra doesn't bear fruit 1. Spray Paclobutrazol: spray the tree crown with Paclobutrazol from the end of July to the end of September. The concentration of Paclobutrazol is determined according to the variety and the growth of trees. Generally, the concentration used by trees with vigorous growth is higher. It takes effect in the second year after spraying, and the efficacy can last for 2-4 years.
2. Male poplar plum tree pollination: every 60-90 red bayberry trees should be equipped with at least 2 male poplar plum trees for pollination. （YangMeiJiNianJieGuo）
