Myrica rubra is divided into female trees and male trees, a single plant can not be self pollinated, it belongs to the tree of cross pollination. It is pollinated by wind or insects. If there are male trees around the growing area, pollination can also be realized. If you want to achieve pollination, you can do it by grafting or by artificial pollination.

Is it self pollination?

Myrica rubra is divided into female tree and male tree. There are different flowers in these two kinds of trees. A single plant can not be self pollinated and belongs to the tree of cross pollination. It is pollinated by wind or insects. If there are male trees around, pollination can also be realized and fruit formation can be promoted.

1. Grafting: it can be realized by grafting. It can be carried out in the spring when it sprouts. Generally, it can be carried out from February to March. It can select robust and full branches, with the length controlled at about 6-7cm. It can select rootstock with good growth, and graft the branches on the male tree to the tree. The two are closely combined to realize two kinds of flowers on one tree, and pollination can also be realized.

2. Artificial pollination: because there is a time gap between the opening time of female flowers and male flowers, the time is not the same, and the time of male flowers blooming is relatively early, so artificial pollination is needed. In addition to the above grafting method, short-term measures can also be taken to cut off the male branches and hang them on the female trees, or the method of flower set can be adopted. Can also dip the pollen of male flowers, man-made dip to female flowers.
