Planting Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation: Yangmei seeds require cold stratification to break dormancy and improve germination rates. Place the seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerate them for 2-4 weeks before planting.

2. Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining, loamy soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5. Incorporate organic matter such as compost or aged manure to enrich the soil.

3. Sowing: Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in pots or seed trays filled with the prepared soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

4. Germination: Place the seed trays in a warm, sunny location or under grow lights, maintaining a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C). Germination may take several weeks to a few months.

5. Transplanting Seedlings: Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough, transplant them into larger containers or directly into the garden, spacing them 10-15 feet apart.

Growing Conditions:

1. Light: Yangmei trees thrive in full sun to partial shade. Provide adequate sunlight for healthy growth and fruit production.

2. Watering: Water young Yangmei trees regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist. Once established, water deeply but less frequently.

3. Soil Requirements: Ensure the soil remains well-draining and slightly acidic. Mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees in early spring before new growth begins. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote foliage growth over fruiting.

Care Tips:

• Pruning: Prune Yangmei trees annually in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased branches and shape the tree for optimal fruit production.
• Protection: Protect young Yangmei trees from strong winds and extreme temperatures, especially during winter. Consider using frost cloth or tree wraps for added protection.
• Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids, scale insects, and fruit flies. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to manage pest infestations.

Harvesting:

• Timing: Yangmei berries typically ripen in late spring to early summer. Harvest when the berries are fully colored, plump, and easily detach from the stems.
• Method: Gently pick Yangmei berries by hand or use small scissors to cut clusters of ripe berries. Store harvested berries in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
