Myrica rubra has both male and female flowers on the same plant, and the male and female flowers are just on the same flower. After pollination, the male buds wither, and the flowering period of Myrica rubra is quite short, only one or two days. If you don't pay attention, you won't see it at all

The female flower of Myrica rubra is very small and difficult to see; The male flowers are bigger, and the whole tree is red, which is easy to see.

Yangmei, formerly known as Yangmei Zi, alias: Yangmei, Cinnabar, Cinnabar, Latin scientific name: Yangmei (Lour. )S. et Zucc。 Myrica rubra is an evergreen tree with gray bark and longitudinal shallow cracks when it is old; The crown is spherical. Branchlets and buds are glabrous, lenticels are usually few and inconspicuous, and only round and peltate glands are attached when they are young.

Leaves leathery, hairless, surviving to fall off in 2 years, usually densely on the upper part of branchlets; I like acidic soil. It is found in most parts of China, and grows in the hillside or valley forest at an altitude of 125- 1500m. Myrica rubra is a famous fruit in southern China. Bark is rich in tannin, which can be used as reddish-brown dye and medicinal astringent.

Planting method

Woodland selection and land consolidation

Myrica rubra is wet and shade-tolerant, with large crown and widely distributed roots. Yangmeiyuan is required to be built in mountainous areas, hills, low light, deep soil layer, cool ventilation, convenient intensive management and transportation with an altitude of less than 800 meters, a slope of less than 45 degrees, a thick humus layer and a pH value of 4.5-5.5. The climatic conditions are subtropical humid monsoon climate. Under the microclimate conditions of large sunlight, sufficient heat, high accumulated temperature in winter and spring and moderate precipitation distribution in summer and autumn, high quality and high yield are more obvious.

From June 165438+ 10 to March of the following year, soil preparation should be done according to local conditions. For woodland with small slope and gentle slope, set terrace soil around the mountain or dig holes on the terrace; Fish scale pits or triangular pits with a square of 1 m are also dug in woodlands with steep slopes and complex terrain, which will be gradually changed into narrow-band stepped soil in future tending.

Field planting

The planting time of Myrica rubra is generally from late February to mid-March, when the temperature has started to warm up. It is best to choose cloudy or rainy days, when the survival rate of a single plant is high. Variety selection should be based on different regions, and the early, middle and late maturing varieties should be reasonably matched. Water chestnut and Myrica rubra are suitable for planting in Xishan, Suzhou.

Select high-quality Suzhou Xishan Myrica rubra grafted seedlings with strong roots and no pests and diseases, fill the dug pit with decomposed manure 10- 15 kg and burnt mud ash 5- 10 kg, plant lightly, and then cultivate small soil beds around the plants, and cover the soil in time to avoid root exposure. Myrica rubra in Suzhou Xishan is dioecious, so 1-2% male plants should be planted for pollination.
