This seems like a Monopoly card of "bank error in your favor". great looking tree
Nice. Big bonus is whoever wins doesn't have to revive it at all.
HUGE bonus. I lost over 20 trees from one of the previous group buys. Guess what I have to show for all that money and time? 2 male trees.
Ooof, im in danger

This variety is a different variety than any of the other one going around. It is also an established tree. There is a huge benefit of buying an established tree vs trying to grow one form bare root. I was part of the last group order and got something like 23 trees. Guess what I have to show for those... 2 male trees infected with RKN.
Has anyone been following this Yangmei auction on ebay? Current bid is $3,000 is it because of the variety, hype, or demand? maybe all of the above. Im shocked, glad I got in on this group order.
Myrica rubra is an obligate N fixer and uses a species Frankia bacteria to create its own N inside on nodules in their roots, I’m not sure that it is wise to remove all root nodules because it would prevent the plants from producing their own nitrogen. The lose of their symbiotic bacteria might slow down the trees growth. I’m sure mixing in a microrhyzel mix might help the plants but removing all the nitrogen nodules might be hard on the plant. Here is an article about their nodule formation but there are a few articles about it

Hey Murraystevena2,
I checked the galls and they are not Frankia Actinomycetes. This article discusses the nodule formation of Frankia and the cascade of gene expression post infection.

I dissected a few nodules to see if I can find any Iron like reddish brown coloration and the galls are cream colored or whitish like your typical root. The morphology of these galls are identical to the other group buy where the roots were more heavily infested.
The roots on these trees have this morphology

Frankia can have different morphologies but they would typically look something like this

Hey RevivalRoots. I'm not sure if you're a native English speaker but your description is a little strange for this plant. "Prince Anhai turns into a soft meat column of bayberry" sounds quite strange! "The meat is fine and soft, the juice is large, the sweet acid is moderate, the nucleus is small, and the edible rate is more than 95%."
Let me help you out. Replace "meat" with flesh.
"Prince Anhai turns into a soft meat column of bayberry" should be "Prince Anhai is a soft fleshed variety bayberry".
"The meat is fine and soft, the juice is large, the sweet acid is moderate, the nucleus is small, and the edible rate is more than 95%." should be " the texture of the fruit is soft and juicy. It is small seeded and has a 9 to1 flesh to seed ratio."
There's on ebay one yangmaie for $3k.
Good luck to the winner. I won't pay $3000 for it. Jason is selling it for $70.
RevivalRoots, is your ebay auction for the "GRAFTED ** YANGMEI ** BLACK RUILIN" ?
The bid is ridiculously high now, way out of my reach.
Geez! Last I looked today that was at $500! Is the fruit that good?
I can only imagine what my fiancee would do to me if I spent 3K+ on a tree lol.
Revivalroots- if that is your tree, that is awesome.
Hot yangmei market, make that moolah $$$
The last 2 sold for over $700 + shipping, and were smaller trees... am I wrong for following the market prices? The winner can take this and auction it, make a bunch of profit or keep for their collections. If the spots don't fill I will post for auction, I just figured people may appreciate a much cheaper option to obtain one of these trees
