Myrica rubra, also called yangmei (Chinese: 杨梅, pinyin: yángméi, Cantonese: yeung4 mui4, Shanghaien: [jɑ.mɛ], literally, "poplar plum"), yamamomo (Japanese: yamamomo, kanji: 山桃, katakana: ヤ マ モ モ, literally, "mountain fishing"), Chinese strawberry, Japanese Bayberry, Red Bayberry, or Chinese strawberry tree, or falsely Waxberry, is a subtropical tree grown for its edible, sweet, purple to dark purple fruits.
This small tree reaches the size of 10 to 20 meters, supports acid soils, and its roots rarely exceed 60 centimeters deep.
The spherical fruit, 1.5 to 2.5 centimeters in diameter, is bumpy. The superficial color is usually a bright deep red, but may vary from white to purple. The internal color is of the same lighter shade. The flesh is sweet and very tart. The central seed occupies half the volume.
The tree is native to Southeast Asia, mainly Chinese. Its 2,000-year-old culture in China is concentrated in the south of the Yangtze, on slopes and in mountain valleys, between 100 and 1500 meters away. It has been naturalized in Taiwan, Japan, Korea and the Philippines.
It is ornamental in the streets, parks and gardens.
Some large fruit cultivars up to 4 cm in diameter have been developed.
The consumption of fresh fruit is doubled by the consumption of dried fruit, canned, preserved in baijiu (Chinese alcohol), or fermented to make alcoholic beverages. Dried fruits are often prepared in the Huamei way. The juice is marketed. The bark is used for dyeing. The berries are ripe in mid-June.
The tree and the fruit should not be confused with the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo), although its commercial name is often arbutus. The "Chinese strawberry" has only one large kernel, while the arbutus contains several seeds.
