How to propagate bayberry
Bayberry seed propagationSelect ripe bayberry fruits, peel off the pulp with a knife to get the seeds, then place them in a cool place to dry, and preserve the seeds using the wet sand stratification storage method. Wait until the spring of next year, sow the seeds in slightly acidic sandy loam with good air permeability, and then cover them with transparent plastic film to create a microclimate to keep warm and moisturize to promote germination. They can be used as seedlings in the second year after germination.Bayberry grafting propagationGenerally from mid-March to early April, choose one-year-old bayberry seedlings with leaves removed as rootstocks. When grafting, cut off the part 5 to 6 cm above the ground, and collect 1 to 2-year-old bayberry branches in the peak fruit-bearing period that are healthy, free of diseases and pests as scions. Generally, the scion is about 10 cm long and has 9-10 buds. Choose sunny weather for grafting and planting. Field practice shows that after the seedlings are grafted, spray the roots with a small pot and cover them with plastic film. After the interface heals in 1-2 weeks, the survival rate is higher when planted in the field.The propagation of bayberry by divisionBayberry is generally transplanted by dividing large seedlings. Bayberry that has been cultivated for 3 to 4 years is best for transplanting. Before transplanting, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied at the bottom of the tree hole. It should be noted that large bayberry seedlings must be transplanted with soil balls to prevent root damage and water evaporation. When transplanting bayberry seedlings, you need to first dig out the soil around the soil ball and tie the soil ball tightly with straw rope to prevent the soil ball from loosening. Before planting bayberry, pruning should be carried out according to the tree shape to prevent excessive evaporation of water from causing the branches and leaves to dry out. Place the seedlings in the planting hole and cut the straw rope to facilitate the close combination of the root soil and the ground soil when filling. In order to make the straw rope rot as soon as possible, the surface of the root soil should be slightly higher than the ground after planting. After transplanting, it should be watered thoroughly once. |
