Abstract: In this study, with two local varieties Mudongguangye (MDGY) and Mudongdaye (MDDY) as controls, the leaf morphology, fruit quality, mature period of six introduced varieties of Chinese bayberry Zaojia (ZJ), Zaoqimimei (ZQMM), Wanqimimei (WQMM), Heijing (HJ), Biqizhong (BQ) and Dongkui (DK) were observed and compared, and further the cluster analysis of fruit and leaf phenotypes among those varieties was performed. The results showed that ZJ and MDGY were clustered into the same group. In addition, the mature period of ZJ was 7 days earlier than that of MDGY, indicating its excellent application prospects with early fruiting and maturing characteristics. BQ had the characteristics of small nucleus and high edible rate, which highlighted its good adaptability in Jingzhou.The average plant yield and price of DK were 1.96-1.98 times and 2.67-3.48 times of the local varieties, and the economic benefit of its cultivation was remarkable.
