Temperate Fruit Discussion / Myrica pensylvanica (wax berry) hybridzing with Myrica rubra (yangmei)
« on: May 29, 2025, 01:03:03 PM »
Figured I'd start a thread. First off is this cross possible?
The northern and southern myrica do hybridize.
The pensylvanica (northern) is hardier for zones 3-7 but the berries are basically inedible
I am currently looking for a female pensylvanica to try this cross. Will need to source yangmei pollen or keep the pensylvanica containerized and graft a male yangmei branch to it.
