Maturation time of bayberry
Early bayberry matures in May, but the maturity time is also different depending on the planting area. In areas with higher temperatures, the maturity time is earlier and gradually matures at the end of May. , if the temperature is lower, the ripening time will be later, and it will mature around July.

Care and management of bayberry during the fruit period
1. Appropriate fertilization
Appropriate amount of fertilizer should be supplemented during the management of bayberry. Sufficient nutrients can ensure stable and high yield. Fertilization should be carried out throughout the year. Add fertilizer to it three times. The first time is two or three months before germination. The first time is potassium fertilizer, combined with nitrogen fertilizer. The second time is fertilizer to strengthen the fruit. In mid-May, apply more quick-acting potassium fertilizer. The third time is after picking the fruit. In June and July, organic fertilizers are mainly used, combined with nitrogen fertilizers to supplement the nutrients consumed by flowering and fruiting.
2. Plastic pruning
During the management period, timely plastic pruning is required, mainly in accordance with the method of removing strong and leaving weak branches. If dead branches, diseased and weak branches, crossing branches and overlapping branches are usually found, they should also be pruned. Cut them off in time to reduce nutrient consumption and promote faster recovery. In addition, pay attention to clearing the pruned branches out of the garden in time to reduce insect eggs and germs.
3. Thinning flowers and fruits
The flower buds of bayberry begin to differentiate between February and mid-March every year. At this time, flowers and fruits must be thinned out in time to reduce nutrient consumption. Thin out the fruits, leaving only two fruits on each fruiting branch. Too many fruits will reduce the quality of the fruits.

When ripe fruits are found, harvest them first. This can reduce losses. In addition, it is best to harvest in the morning or evening.

What kind of medicine should be sprayed during the bayberry fruit period?
During the middle and later stages of fruit enlargement, work must be done to protect the fruit and promote fruiting. Use 0.5 grams of "920" plus 1 gram of "anti-falling agent" Add 15 ml of "Golida" and 50 kg of water and spray 3 to 5 times during the fruit expansion and color changing period, once every 5 to 7 days. The yield increase effect reaches a very significant level.
