Unlike other trees such as cherries and apples, these trees are all shrubs.

Shrubs refer to those trees that do not have a distinct trunk and are relatively short in a clumping state.

In particular, blackberries and raspberries, which also belong to the genus Rubus of the Rosaceae family, are mostly plants with poor erection, either semi-erect plants, or simply climbing creeping plants, and even many varieties do not have perfect lignified trunks, and some are similar to herbaceous plants.

Therefore, when picking and management are taken into account, it is either necessary to plant dwarf varieties or to put them on a shelf.

Originally, Xu Yi considered that he was lacking labor in the space, and choosing that kind of dwarf species or creeping varieties would undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble to his management, and harvesting was also a big problem, so blackberries and raspberries were the erect varieties chosen. For example, for blackberries, Xu Yi chose the tall and large varieties of Apcho blackberries bred in the United States, which have early maturity and high yield, and thornless, so as to avoid these troubles;

Two days ago, Xu Yi didn't feel anything, watching the clusters of fruit trees grow a little dense, this is at most a little troublesome, at least this fruit tree is quite straight, but now this first batch of fruits has just ripened, and after the new batches of flowers on the tree have fallen, the overlapping fruits have developed, which has brought new problems - the accumulation of fruits has pressed all the branches of these two trees to the side, and some of the branches that have borne dense fruits are almost arched, and they are even about to lie on the ground!

Just hanging fruit. That's what these trees have become. This is to wait until the full fruiting period. Isn't it all the branch that has to be crushed to the ground?

It's just that if the drooping branches of this blackberry touch the ground, they will take root and grow new branches on the roots. If that's the case, there's no doubt that this will inevitably make you this

Xu Yi sighed secretly, it seemed that he still had to put up a shelf for them again.

Xu Yi stretched out his hand to pluck a fruit on the blackberry in front of him, and there were many fully ripe fruits on the same ear. In addition, there are some fruits that have turned red and are estimated to ripen in three to five days at most.

The fruit Xu Yi picked was not the largest on the spike, and even then it was much bigger than his fingertips, with a smooth and smooth surface that was black and shiny, glowing with a charming halo.

Strictly speaking, neither blackberries nor raspberries are true berries, they can only be regarded as a kind of aggregate fruit, and each blackberry or raspberry is formed by the aggregation of many small fruits like sorghum grains.

Xu Yi threw it into his mouth, the tender fruit was extremely smooth, and he gently pushed it with his tongue. They burst open in the mouth, exuding a rich aroma. The taste is sweet and sour, and it is definitely a superb delicacy.

After tasting those raspberries and blueberries again, Xu Yi became more and more confident in the sales of his ice powder.

However, Xu Yi also found a problem, the blueberries are not bad, but the ripe raspberries and blackberries fell from the tree with a light touch of his hand, obviously even if he wants to build a shelf for them, he has to pick these ripe fruits first.

Of course, with such tender fruits, Xu Yi could only pack them all in a small box as usual, and then put them into a cardboard box.

For the yield, Xu Yi is still quite satisfied, Xu Yi has not planted many of these kinds of trees, but only two of each are planted. However, he was pleased that although it was the first batch of fruits, the yield of these fruits was not too small, just like the two blackberries almost filled a large cardboard box, and the tree had at least seven or eight catties of fruit on it.

In this way, even if there will be no new branches, only now that these branches are in full fruit, a tree can be picked at least 20 catties at a time. Although it seems that the area of a single plant must exceed the area of a single plant in those blackberry fields, but conservatively according to the yield of 20 catties per plant, if about 150 trees are planted per acre, one acre of land will produce at least about 3,000 catties. If you average it to a total of three days from flowering to maturity, you can produce about 1,000 catties on this day, and you can't use so many blackberries.

The yield of raspberries is not so much, but the two trees are about five or six catties off, so that the peak fruiting period should be about ten catties per tree. In this way, according to the planting density of about 200 trees per mu, the yield per mu can almost reach about 2,000 catties, which is quite good.

There are many varieties of blueberries, but Xu Yi did not choose the Beigao slave varieties suitable for cultivation in the province, but chose rabbit eye blueberries with better yield and flavor, and chose the middle and late maturing blueberry varieties - Tiff blue.

This variety belongs to the upright tree species, and it grows to more than two meters tall after watering the space water, if it weren't for Xu Yi to remove the top heart, I'm afraid that it would have grown to more than three meters tall by now. The fruits on the tree are light blue, the size of a fingernail, and the surface seems to be covered with a layer of white sand.

Not as thin as blackberry and raspberry skins, even if Xu Yi is careful, he will inevitably get a layer of purple-red juice on his hands, with a sweet and sour fragrance, the skin of this blueberry is thicker than those two fruits, and the flesh is obviously harder. Xu Yi put the blueberry in his hand in his mouth and bit it, and immediately a sweet and sour aroma with a faint wheat grass immediately spread from the tip of his tongue to the entire mouth, and the taste was very delicious.

Xu Yi had never eaten blueberries before, so there was no way to compare, but overall, he still felt that the taste of this fruit was absolutely good. According to the general law of spatial production, this fruit is definitely no worse than other fruits!

Breaking the cracked fruit again, Xu Yi saw that the thing had a thin layer of bright blue skin wrapped in white flesh, and the outer circle was slightly transparent, and there were white filaments inside. The circle near the center of the fruit is slightly smaller than the mung bean kernel and is white in color. And the transparency is relatively poor. It was covered with seeds that looked like miniature colors, some brownish-yellow.

The taste of blueberries is better, so Xu Yi picked a large handful and ate it to a satisfaction before he stopped and began to pick the fruits on the trees.

After calculating the yield, the yield per mu of this blueberry in the peak fruit period can also reach more than 3,000 catties, which also makes Xu Yi very satisfied.

Of course, calculating yield is just a matter of calculating how many fruit trees you need to plant. It doesn't mean that Xu Yi will really plant so much.

Before the store opened, Xu Yi was going to use only these two fruit trees to deal with it for the time being, and when it officially opened, these fruits could accumulate a lot, and he could completely determine the production by sales, and look at the consumption of various fruits to determine the planting area.

After all, although these berries are growing well, the fruit is too small, and it is really too difficult to pick. If you really plant dozens of acres of these small berries by yourself, I am afraid that I don't have to do anything every day, and I can't be busy just picking fruits.

In particular, the blackberry and raspberry fruits are so soft that they can cause a lot of trouble for storage and transportation. In addition, these fruits have a relatively short time on the market, so it's no wonder that there are few places to buy these things. The price will be so expensive.

However, what made Xu Yi feel relieved was that he had also checked the price of these things on the Internet, and there were many places in China where they were planted, and the price was not too outrageous.

Therefore, it can also be safely placed in ice powder, which can not only increase the added value of the product, but also not be too eye-catching.

Write down the numbers he estimated into the notebook, and Xu Yi is ready to put the blackberries and raspberries on the shelves again.

Xu Yi took a few bamboo poles, like building a drying rack, set up a tripod more than a meter high on the side, and propped a bamboo pole across the bushes of a fruit tree on top of the shelf, and then carefully lifted the branches of blackberries and raspberries, and tied them to them one by one.

Of course, all the branches are tied to one surface, which will definitely affect the lighting and ventilation, so Xu Yi then took a few more bamboo poles and used the same method to set up the shelf, but the angle turned a little, and it became the bamboo pole that was horizontal on the vertical top, so that after tying the remaining branches, the whole tree looked extremely neat.

Xu Yi took the scissors again, and took the overly dense branches and the branches that stretched out into the middle of the bushes, and the branches of this tree became more and more sparse.

After trimming the remaining trees, Xu Yi stepped on the ladder and picked and pruned the ripe grapes.

Grapes are not like those kinds of fruits are small, they can be packed in small boxes inside, even if they are bunches of these things, they weigh almost two catties, and they can't fit in that kind of alley, so Xu Yi can only take out the small boxes in the box, and then put them in the box layer by layer, and also pack several large boxes.

Xu Yi moved all these boxes back to the cellar and walked out, looking at the fruitful fruit trees outside, he smiled a little wryly, everyone was worried about the fruit trees not growing well and the yield was too low, but he was worried about what to use to hold these fruits!

Don't say anything else, just say that these grapes, when all the grapes come down tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid that I can't fit so many dozens of cardboard boxes, even if I use those grapes to make wine, how many bottles can I use?

Xu Yi sighed secretly, it seems that he must go to Liu Mengyao tomorrow, or prepare various types and a large number of turnover boxes to solve this problem earlier.

Walking to the strawberry field again, walking along the edge of the field, Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction.

The survival rate of the newly transplanted strawberries is quite good, and it is estimated that only 23 percent of the seedlings are missing.

However, due to the influence of dividing or transplanting, even the original strawberry plants have only just recovered due to the severe damage. There are hardly many new flower stems in the whole field, and there are few ripe fruits.

However, there was no transplanting of those Zhang Ji strawberries because of the seedlings and the removal of stolons, so the situation was better than before, and a small piece of strawberries was picked, and Xu Yi picked a full box.

After dividing the red-faced strawberry plants that were relatively dense and filling up the lack of seedlings, Xu Yi removed all the newly sprouted stolons in the field as usual, and then stood up straight and let out a long sigh. (To be continued......)
