楊梅(Myrica rubra),又稱為樹梅,楊梅是楊梅科楊梅屬喬木植物,喜濕、耐陰寒的溫帶、亞熱帶的水果樹種。產於中國大陸華東、西南,多為人工栽培。後引進至台灣、日本、韓國和菲律賓等地。以台灣為例,產期約每年5月底至6月,果圓球形,夏季成熟時為鮮紅色,生食生津止渴,亦可做蜜餞、果醬等。

Myrica rubra, also called yangmei,Chinese bayberry, Japanese bayberry, red bayberry, yumberry, waxberry, or Chinese strawberry (and often mistranslated from Chinese as arbutus) is a subtropical tree grown for its sweet, crimson to dark purple-red, fruit.
Besides fresh consumption, the fruits may be dried, canned, soaked in baijiu (Chinese liquor), or fermented into alcoholic beverages. Dried fruits are often prepared in the manner of dry huamei (Prunus mume with flavorings such as licorice or salty licorice).
