Dongkui Yangmei- Myrica rubra
AVAILABLE THIS FALL!
Chinese bayberry or Chinese strawberry.
Dongkui Yangmei FEMALE clone
These are female clones from a newly selected "Dongkui" Yangmei (Myrica rubra). This variety boasts an exceptionally vigorous tree that yields large fruits, approximately 3 cm in diameter and weighing 20 grams each. The ripe fruits exhibit a striking purple-black to red coloration and offer a juicy, intensely flavored balance of sweetness and tartness. In China's primary growing regions (zone 9), these fruits typically mature from late June to early July.
For optimal growth, apply a fertilizer with an N:P:K ratio of 15:10:20 during the vegetative growing stage. Switch to a high- potash fertilizer with an N:P:K ratio of 2:1:8 during the fruit development period. Importantly, never use potassium chloride (muriate of potash, KCl); potassium sulfate is recommended instead.
