A New Variety of Peppercorns——Zi Jin Shan Jiao

Zanthoxylum bungeanum, a new species of pepper, was selected by the Hebei Academy of Forestry. In December 2009, it was approved by the Provincial Forest Variety Approval Committee.

The species features more upright tree branches, dense branches, head-like growth, and smooth branches without thorns. The fruit is oval in shape and has a vertical and horizontal diameter of 5.945.01 mm. There is a small protrusion in the umbilicus and the skin is bright red. The weight of fresh fruit is 74.48 grams, and the weight of pepper grains is between 16 and 18 grams. The rate of skin peeling is 22.71%. The average number of grains per ear is 58 grains, and up to 150 grains can be planted with high uniformity. The coloring of the fruit is relatively late, generally beginning in mid-September and ripening from late September to early October.

Sprouting power and strong branching, early flowering, early fruiting. Grafting seedlings flowering rate reached more than 80%, fruit set rate, high yield, stable production. Pepper buds and fruits can be eaten as an important raw material for seasoning, pickles and pharmaceuticals. Anti-flow gum disease, susceptible to ear blight. Saplings are poor in cold resistance, and pay attention to wintering and cold-proofing.

Grafting techniques are the main points of cultivation techniques. The effect of grafting is best from mid-March to mid-April. The arid area is planted by sitting seedlings and planted on a flat land; the plain irrigated area adopts a high-riding cultivation mode, and the finished seedlings can be directly planted. Pay attention to the configuration and proportion of pollination trees. The male and female plants are usually arranged in a ratio of 8 to 10:1. It is better to graft male branches (20:1) directly on female plants. Artificial pollination can significantly increase the fruit setting rate. The shape of the tree is the best, and the pruning method is mainly the thinning, slow release and pulling the branches, and the short cut is the supplement. The pests mainly include locusts, swallowtails, and long-horned cows. The diseases include ear blight and plaster disease. Before the three-year-old tree is overwintering, it is necessary to tie the grass and prevent cold, and pay attention to frost protection during flowering.

Suitable cultivation areas are suitable for Shijiazhuang, Shexian, Fengfeng mining areas and similar ecological conditions in our province to promote cultivation.
