also called Poplar Plum, Red Bayberry or Yumberry
Attention: not to be confused with Arbutus unedo (strawberry tree)
An originally subtropical, evergreen tree from China with impressive fruits. The color of the fruit varies from reddish to almost black.
As with other subtropical species, there may be more hardiness potential in here than meets the eye. Seedlings have survived minus 5 degrees Celsius (23 °F) without damage. The seeds offered are from the northernmost range exclusively from high altitudes with light frosts and snow in the hope of being able to select the hardiest phenotypes.
Once "Yangmai" is well established, it can absorb plenty of water and fertilizer and grow quickly. Fruit shoots should be shortened to 30 cm for maximum yield.
Seed was harvested from both red-fruited and dark red/black-fruited trees in about equal proportions.
The germination rate, tested by us, is 75 percent.
Be sure to follow the sowing instructions!
