Harvested in time. Raising Yangmei’s commodity value demands timely harvesting, and there is also a large relationship between the effect of transportation and maturity. Yangmei is generally matured in June. Wild Shanmeimei has matured in May. At this time, the temperature is relatively high, and it is in the rainy season. The fruits are easily perishable and fall off. They require timely harvesting and follow the harvest. Varieties, late rice red bayberry and other varieties of ebony, when the fruit turns red, there is still sour, turn purple to purple or black, sweet and sour palatability, the best flavor, at this time for the appropriate harvest. Dongju Yangmei and other Hongmei strains can be harvested in dark red or purple. Bayberry picking is appropriate in the early morning or late evening when the temperature is low and the loss is low. It is not suitable for picking after rain or after the rain. The fruit has more moisture and is easily rot. Harvesting method. The fruit maturity of one tree is not uniform and should be harvested in batches. Before weeding, weeds and shrubs under the canopy are cut off, and at the same time tools such as herringbone ladders, latex gloves, plastic turnover boxes or bamboo baskets are prepared. When picking the fruit, hold the fruit with the right three fingers and lift the tight handle gently. Place it in a plastic box or bamboo basket with fern or grass on the bottom. The fruit in each basket should not exceed 20 kg. Be careful not to shake the fruit. Transport preservation. In general, the vehicle is preferably a refrigerated truck. Most of the rural areas do not have refrigerated trucks, which can be transported by ice cooling. First, the fruit is sent to the cold storage or small pre-cooling pre-cooling, so that the temperature dropped to 0 - 2 °C, in the center of the bottom of the foam box placed on the shape of ice wrapped in thin film, and then placed on the bag wrapped Yangmei fruit bag, and then Pre-cooled bayberry into the bag, closely arranged. The quantity of ice cubes should be appropriate. If the transport distance is long, the ice cubes should be more. For example, the number of ice cubes is too small and the fruits are perishable and metamorphic. If the transport distance is short, the ice cubes can be placed less to reduce the production cost. In order to meet the market demand for small packages of fruit, it is also possible to use plastic or foam packaging boxes, 500 grams per box of fruit, 10--20 boxes per box, and ice wrapped in film. After packing, pay attention to the air in the bag. The less air in the box, the better. After spraying preservatives on the top of boxed bayberry, fold the film bag, cover the foam box lid, and finally seal the foam box with adhesive paper. The cartons should be stacked neatly and fixed when loaded, and they must not be moved. After the container is packed, it can be shipped in foam plastic sheets or other heat insulation material.
