How long is the fruiting period of bayberry? Fruiting period maintenance and management methods

How long does the bayberry fruit season last?

The shelf life is very short. It is best stored in an environment of 0-0.5 degrees and relative humidity of 85%-90%. It can be stored directly in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can also wash the bayberry, soak it in salt water to remove the sour taste, then soak it in sugar water, put it in a bag, seal it, and then put it in the freezer. It can be stored for several months.

How long does it take for bayberry to bear fruit?

After planting the bayberry seedlings, it will bear fruit after 2-3 years of maintenance. Bayberry will bear a lot of fruit every year, but the weather is almost always in the rainy season when harvesting, which is very troublesome. Generally, it is no problem to harvest 50-100 kilograms from one plant. It is a high-yield good fruit.

When is the fruit-swelling period of bayberry?

The fruit-swelling period of bayberry is from the end of May to around July. This period is the fruit-swelling period of bayberry.

Bayberry ripening time

Early-maturing bayberry matures in May, but the maturing time varies in different planting areas. In areas with higher temperatures, the maturing time is relatively early, gradually maturing at the end of May. In areas with lower temperatures, the maturing time is late, maturing around July. You can choose bayberries of different maturity periods at different times, so that they can be eaten for a longer time.

Maintenance and management of bayberry during fruiting period

1. Apply fertilizer appropriately

During the management of bayberry, it is necessary to add fertilizer in moderation. Only with sufficient nutrients can stable and high production be achieved. It needs to be fertilized three times throughout the year. The first time is two or three months before budding, mainly potassium fertilizer, combined with nitrogen fertilizer. The second time is fruit-enhancing fertilizer, in mid-May, with more accelerated-effect potassium fertilizer. The third time is in June and July after the fruit is harvested, mainly organic fertilizer, combined with nitrogen fertilizer, to replenish the nutrients consumed by flowering and fruiting.

2. Plastic and pruning

During the management period, shaping and pruning should be carried out in time, mainly according to the method of removing the strong and keeping the weak. Dead branches, diseased branches, crossed branches, and overlapping branches should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption and promote faster recovery. In addition, pay attention to cleaning up the branches pruned out of the garden in time to reduce insect eggs and pathogens.

3. Thinning flowers and fruits

The flower buds of bayberry begin to differentiate between February and mid-March every year. At this time, it is necessary to thin out the flowers in time to reduce nutrient consumption, and also to thin out the fruits in time. It is enough to leave two fruits on each fruiting branch. Too many will reduce the quality of the fruit.

4. Harvest in time

Bayberry fruits usually mature between early June and early July. If they are easy to fall off after ripening, they should be picked in time. It is best to harvest in batches, and harvest the ripe fruits first. This can reduce losses. In addition, the best time to harvest is in the morning or evening.

How to fertilize during the bayberry fruiting period

Bayberry is generally fertilized in April to promote summer shoot growth and fruit development. In July after harvesting, quick-acting fertilizer composed mainly of potassium fertilizer and supplemented with nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to help restore the tree vigor and promote flower bud differentiation.

What kind of medicine should be sprayed during the bayberry fruit period

In the middle and late stages of fruit expansion, it is necessary to do a good job of fruit protection and fruit promotion. Use 0.5 grams of "920", 1 gram of "anti-drop agent", 15 milliliters of "Gaolida" and 50 kilograms of water, spray 3 to 5 times during the fruit expansion and color change period, spray once every 5 to 7 days, and the yield increase effect will reach a very significant level.
