Myrtle is a wild fruit native to China, also known as "mountain barnyard", "twister", "Zhongni", "Dang pear" and so on. In the past, in the southern region of China, myrtle can be said to be "ubiquitous" in the wild, and it grows up to be "seeing the needle in the seam", but with the rise of eucalyptus trees in some areas, eucalyptus trees as a more powerful economic tree species, greatly squeezing the living space of myrtles.
The number of myrtles in some areas is gradually declining.
Some netizens suggested that why can't wild fruits such as myrtle be commercially cultivated?
In fact, myrtle has been cultivated commercially in many areas. However, at present, there are many problems in the application of myrtle fruit.

In the United States, myrtle has previously been listed as an "invasive species", and later some American experts have used the strong vitality of myrtle to cultivate myrtle as a fireproof belt tree species.
In Germany, there is a class of drugs for the treatment of rhinitis, that is, the main ingredient is myrtle oil.
In our country, in addition to fresh food, myrtle is often used by us to make wine. At present, there are also many areas in The country that are commercially planting myrtles, and some have planted thousands of acres. But in general, sales are not so smooth.
Some people asked, why can't I use myrtle to sell as fruit? Isn't this wild fruit delicious? Does it feel better than blueberries?
Myrtle as a fruit is very flawed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > where is the flaw of Myrtle? </h1>
If the myrtle is sold with fresh fruit, the myrtle has several major flaws.
The first is that myrtle is very difficult to store and transport. After the myrtle ripens, the storage is too poor, and the transport resistance is not good, and it is not even better than the blueberries. At this point, it is not suitable for the current rhythm of fruit sales. This creates a very large sales pressure on the growing growers when the myrtle is ripe. If someone agrees in advance that it is okay to make an acquisition, and no one agrees on the acquisition in advance, it will be very troublesome.
Some netizens reported a few days ago that the myrtle that planted thousands of acres of myrtles was not very good, and it was planned to cut down the trees and plant other things.
The second is that there is a problem of "not too big or small" in the consumption of myrtles. Many "senior eaters" of myrtles say that myrtles eat too much, are prone to "constipation", and eat too much, which is an unforgettable "experience". This could be a relatively deadly bug for Myrtle.
If the cultivation of myrtle is promoted in a large area, a "fruit characteristic" that will cause constipation after eating too much may make many consumers daunted.
Storage is not a big deal to increase some costs, 5 yuan / kg is not enough, you can increase the price to 10 yuan / kg, in the end can solve the storage problem. However, the second problem is more difficult to solve, which may be the reason why myrtle has been difficult to grow commercially on a large scale.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="5" what are the commercialization trends of myrtle >? </h1>
At present, in some areas of the south, there are occasionally myrtles in the fruit market, and the price is getting higher and higher every year. Probably the reason is that there are fewer wild myrtles in the mountains, and they are all squeezed by the fast-growing eucalyptus. In some regional markets, myrtle can sell for 6-10 yuan / kg of retail price, in fact, the price is still good.
However, compared with blueberries, apples and other fruits, myrtle can only be regarded as a "wild fruit", because the sales range is too narrow, and the market influence is also very small. In addition to some areas in the south, consumers in the north are mostly "completely unaware of what" for fruits such as myrtle.
If you find a way out for myrtle, eating myrtle fruit may only be considered the next strategy. It can be developed on a small scale and niche, and if it is developed on a large scale, it is estimated that the sales pressure is too great.
The real way out for myrtle should be in fruit processing. One is to use myrtle to make wine; the other is to process it into juice. Myrtle has moderate sweetness and acidity, and there are more soluble curables, which is more suitable for direct winemaking.
Unfortunately, the current fruit wine brewed by fruit is still tepid in the Chinese market, and the myrtle is also embarrassed here.
Brewing is not good, so what are the current myrtles used for?
Took a step back and used it to make wine. Many of the myrtles sold are dried fruits for sale, on the one hand, they are used as medicinal herbs, and on the other hand, they are used to make wine. The price of dried myrtle fruit is about 5-10 yuan / catty, which is also very unstable.
Many people watch the myrtle getting less and less, hoping to commercialize the use of the myrtle through artificial cultivation. Myrtle is relatively easy to cultivate, but unfortunately, after planting, whether it can produce economic benefits is unknown.
At present, the commercial cultivation effect of myrtle is not very good, especially those who cultivate myrtle on a large scale, and the benefits are generally biased.
