How to plant bayberry trees and what kind of soil is needed

1. Soil requirements

When planting bayberry trees, loose, humus-rich acidic soil should be used, either red loam or yellow loam. Try to avoid using heavy, airtight alkaline soil as it will affect its growth.

2. Planting time

Choosing the right time is conducive to its growth. It is best to do it from late February to mid-March. At this time, the weather is getting warmer, which can increase the survival rate. In addition, try to find a rainy day to do it. It is also okay on a cloudy day without too strong light.

3. Planting

Use seedlings with strong roots, plant them shallowly in the soil, and use the surrounding soil to secure the roots. When covering the soil, you should be careful not to let the small roots of the seedlings exposed outside the soil, otherwise it will be difficult for them to adapt to the new growth environment.

4. Fertilizer and water management

During the growth period of young bayberry trees, some quick-acting fertilizers need to be applied to them. Usually, 2 or 3 times a year will be enough. Nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can be used in combination. Drainage should be done properly at ordinary times. Too much water may cause certain damage to its roots.
