<p><strong>Kinesisk Blomsterkornell i olika storlekar:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: bold;"><strong>Höjd 60-80 cm</strong></li> <li style="font-weight: bold;"><strong>Höjd 100-125 cm</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>Trivialnamn:</strong> Kinesisk Blomsterkornell<strong><br>Vetenskapligt namn:</strong><em> Cornus kousa<br></em><strong>Familj:</strong> Cornaceae</p> <p><strong>Växthistoria &amp; användning:</strong></p> <p>Blomsterkornell är ett tätvuxet litet buskträd som härstammar ifrån Nordostasien. På våren bildar den mångtaliga klart vita blommor som lyser upp skuggiga partier i trädgården. I slutet av sommaren bildar trädet egendomliga rosaröda ätbara frukter på 2-3 cm i diameter. </p> <p>Dessa frukter kan man göra sylt eller baka paj på. I Asien gör man juice av dem samt fermenterar till vin.</p> <p>Barken på grövre stammar flagnar och skapar ett vackert mönster av varierade färger.</p> <p>Även bladen på trädet får en vacker klarröd/orange färg på hösten. </p> <p><strong>Odling:</strong></p> <p>Blomsterkornell är ett lövfällande träd som trivs bra i större delen av Sverige. Trädet är relativt långlivat (50-150 år) och är härdigt mot kyliga klimat.</p> <p>Till skillnad från många växter trivs blomsterkornell bra i skuggiga lägen. Det ska även gärna vara vindskyddat. Står trädet i direkt sol tenderar trädet att producera fler frukter, men av mindre storlek. </p> <p>En optimal växtplats för blomsterkornellen är under ett eller flera högre lövfällande träd - som ger skugga och tillför organiskt material till marken - omgiven av ytterligare växtlighet i olika skikt. Detta bidrar till den fuktiga, vindskyddade och halvt skuggiga miljö som blomsterkornellen växer bäst i. Trädets klarlysande blomning kan dessutom lysa upp en annars skuggig "dunge". Blomsterkornellen har låga skötselkrav och ger stora återkommande skördar varje år. </p> <p>Av ovan nämnda anledningar är blomsterkornellen ett utmärkt träd att ha i en skogsträdgård. Har du ingen sådan plats på din odlingsyta, funkar en växtplats med morgonsol och eftermiddagsskugga även bra.  </p> <p><strong>Egenskaper:</strong></p> <p>Årighet: Flerårig<br>Växtläge: skugga/halvskugga<br>Höjd: 2-3 m<br>Växtzon: 1-3</p>

The tree often grows in marshes, swamps and wetlands near rivers - especially along the Mississippi River and its surrounding regions. Water Tupelo has no problem growing in standing water. The tree usually forms a "swollen" base at the bottom of the tree trunk, then tapering upwards along the trunk. This classic "swamp tree look" somehow leaves a grand impression on the observer - perhaps the sheer size of the tree also plays a role. It is a sight to behold beyond the ordinary in our Nordic regions.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">It still does not have an established Swedish name as it is a nearly non-existent plant in our regions, so we have chosen to let it keep its American name. The name <em>Tupelo</em> comes from a North American Indian language and is a combination of two words that mean "swamp/marsh" &amp; "tree".</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Forms edible dark purple fruits that ripen in autumn. The fruits can be eaten raw but are more often used to make jam. The fruits are about 4 cm long, have a sour pulp and a relatively large seed.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Water Tupelon, like the more familiar woodland Tupelon (Nyssa sylvatica), normally blooms in May, their inconspicuous flowers being very nectar-producing. Tupelo honey has a very rich flavor, and due to its high fructose content, it rarely crystallizes, making it one of the most popular North American honeys.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The small dark purple fruits also make the tree a popular <span data-mce-fragment="1">food tree for birds. Interesting from an ecosystem perspective, if for some reason you need to attract birds to your forest garden or similar.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The wood from the roots is sometimes used to make floats instead of the more common wood from the Cork oak.

Rötterna är den mest uppskattade delen och används traditionellt som pulver eller avkok för att stödja återhämtning, stärka nervsystemet och balansera energi. De unga bladen är också ätliga och kan användas i te eller milda örtavkok.</p> <h4>Odling</h4> <p>Trivs i soligt och varmt läge med väldränerad, näringsrik jord. Plantera gärna i kruka eller upphöjd bädd för att undvika vinterfukt. Ashwagandha är en flerårig ört men behöver i Sverige tas in och övervintras frostfritt – plantan tål endast korta perioder av lätt frost (ned till ca –5 °C) och övervintras säkrast svalt och ljust inomhus. Skörda rötter på hösten när plantan vissnat ner.</p> <h4>Egenskaper</h4> <p><strong>Årighet:</strong> Flerårig<br><strong>Växtläge:</strong> Sol<br><strong>Höjd:</strong> 40–70 cm<br><strong>Växtzon:</strong> Övervintra frostfritt<br><strong>Användning:</strong> Rötter och blad till te, avkok, torkning och traditionell örtmedicin</p>

De aromatiska stjälkarna och bladen ger en frisk citrussmak till soppor, curryrätter, marinader, te och kalla drycker. Oljan från citrongräs används också traditionellt som smakämne och i naturmedicin för att verka uppfriskande och lugnande.</p> <h4>Odling</h4> <p>Citrongräs trivs i soligt, varmt och vindskyddat läge med näringsrik, väldränerad jord. Den odlas vanligen i kruka eller växthus i Sverige, men kan under sommarhalvåret stå ute på skyddad plats. För bästa övervintring tas krukan in före frost och placeras ljust och svalt (cirka 5–10 °C). Regelbunden vattning och näring under tillväxtperioden gynnar kraftiga stjälkar med intensiv smak.</p> <p>I USDA zon <meta charset="utf-8">8b uppges den klara vintern - stjälkar vissnar men kommer tillbaka på våren. De mest gynnsamma lägena i vårt land klassas som USDA zon 8. </p> <p>Som vi alltid gör när vi tar in något nytt, kommer vi att testa att ha några exemplar Citrongräs ute i växthus samt rätt ner i marken utomhus med vintertäckning under vintern 2025-2026 - vi återkommer med feedback. </p> <h4>Egenskaper</h4> <p><strong>Årighet:</strong> Flerårig (odlas oftast som ettårig eller i kruka i Sverige)<br><strong>Växtläge:</strong> Sol<br><strong>Höjd:</strong> 60–100 cm<br><strong>USDA zon:</strong> 8b - stjälkar vissnar men kommer tillbaka på våren. <br><strong>Användning:</strong> Smaksättning av mat och dryck, te, naturmedicin, eterisk olja</p>

<p><strong>Luktpion av sorten 'Sorbet': nuvarande höjd 20–30 cm i C2 kruka</strong><br><br><strong>Trivialnamn:</strong> Luktpion<br><strong>Vetenskapligt namn:</strong> <em>Paeonia lactiflora</em><br><strong>Familj:</strong> Paeoniaceae</p> <h4>Växthistoria &amp; användning</h4> <p>Luktpionen har odlats i Sverige sedan 1800-talet och är uppskattad för sin doft, sin hållbarhet som snittblomma och sitt stabila växtsätt. Sorten ’Sorbet’ har ett unikt färgspel med tätt fyllda blommor i lager av ljusrosa och krämvitt, nästan som en skopa glass – därav namnet. Doften är mild men behaglig, och växtsättet är robust med god blomrikedom.</p> <p>Förutom sitt prydnadsvärde har pioner använts i både mat och traditionell örtmedicin, framför allt i Asien. Rötterna har kokats och ätits i soppor, unga stjälkar har använts som kokgrönsak, och fröna har torkats, pulveriserats och blandats i te.</p> <p>Rötterna från <em>P. lactiflora</em> har använts i över 1 500 år inom kinesisk medicin och ingår där som en av huvudingredienserna i den välkända örtsoppan 'Four Things Soup', som traditionellt används som stärkande tonic för kvinnor (<strong>Chevallier. A.</strong> <em>The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants</em>).</p> <h4>Odling</h4> <p>Trivs i sol till lätt halvskugga i väldränerad, näringsrik jord. Pioner vill stå orörda – plantera på permanent plats och undvik att flytta dem i onödan. Knölarna planteras grunt; för djupt planterade pioner blommar dåligt. ’Sorbet’ är härdig och långlivad, och blommar år efter år med lite grundskötsel.

<p><strong>Luktpion av sorten 'Shirley Temple': nuvarande höjd 20–30 cm i C2 kruka</strong><br><br><strong>Trivialnamn:</strong> Luktpion<br><strong>Vetenskapligt namn:</strong> <em>Paeonia lactiflora</em><br><strong>Familj:</strong> Paeoniaceae</p> <h4>Växthistoria &amp; användning</h4> <p>Luktpionen har odlats i Sverige sedan 1800-talet och är uppskattad för sin doft, sin hållbarhet som snittblomma och sitt stabila växtsätt. Sorten ’Shirley Temple’ får stora, tätt fyllda blommor som slår ut i ljusrosa och bleknar till nästan rent vitt. Blommorna är svagt doftande och eleganta, med ett något lägre och mer kompakt växtsätt än många andra sorter.</p> <p>Förutom sitt prydnadsvärde har pioner använts i både mat och traditionell örtmedicin, framför allt i Asien. Rötterna har kokats och ätits i soppor, unga stjälkar har använts som kokgrönsak, och fröna har torkats, pulveriserats och blandats i te.</p> <p>Rötterna från <em>P. lactiflora</em> har använts i över 1 500 år inom kinesisk medicin och ingår där som en av huvudingredienserna i den välkända örtsoppan 'Four Things Soup', som traditionellt används som stärkande tonic för kvinnor (<strong>Chevallier. A.</strong> <em>The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants</em>).</p> <h4>Odling</h4> <p>Trivs i sol till lätt halvskugga i väldränerad, näringsrik jord. Pioner vill stå orörda – plantera på permanent plats och undvik att flytta dem i onödan. Knölarna planteras grunt; för djupt planterade pioner blommar dåligt. ’Shirley Temple’ är härdig och långlivad, och blommar år efter år med lite grundskötsel. Klipp ner vissna stjälkar på hösten och täck gärna med löv i kallare lägen. Gödsla lätt på våren.</p> <h4>Egenskaper</h4> <p><strong>Årighet:</strong> Flerårig<br><strong>Växtläge:</strong> Sol till lätt halvskugga<br><strong>Höjd:</strong> 60–80 cm<br><strong>Växtzon:</strong> 1–5<br><strong>Blomning:</strong> Juni</p>

<p><strong>Päronträd: stamomkrets ca 7 cm, höjd ca 3 meter</strong><br><br><strong>Trivialnamn:</strong> Päron<br><strong>Vetenskapligt namn:</strong> <em>Pyrus communis</em><br><strong>Familj:</strong> Rosaceae</p> <h4>Växthistoria &amp; användning</h4> <p>’Conference’ är en av Europas mest odlade päronsorter, känd för sin pålitlighet, stora söta frukter och lagringstålighet. Sorten togs fram i England i slutet av 1800-talet och är idag en klassiker både i yrkesodling och hemmaträdgårdar.</p> <p>Frukten är långsmal med gröngult skal, saftigt fruktkött och mild, söt smak – god att äta som den är eller använda i bakning, sallader och inläggningar. Päronen kan lagras svalt under flera veckor efter skörd. Trädet blommar rikligt och lockar pollinatörer, och det vackra växtsättet gör det till ett fint inslag även i större trädgårdar.</p> <h4>Odling</h4> <p>Trivs i soligt och varmt läge med väldränerad, näringsrik jord. Planteras med gott om utrymme – dessa exemplar är uppvuxna på friland och har välutvecklad stam med god tillväxt. Självfertil sort som ger bra skörd även ensam, men ännu rikligare om den får stå nära en annan päronsort. Vattnas regelbundet under etablering och beskärs årligen vid behov för form och fruktved.</p> <h4>Egenskaper</h4> <p><strong>Årighet:</strong> Flerårig<br><strong>Växtläge:</strong> Sol<br><strong>Höjd:</strong> 3–5 meter<br><strong>Växtzon:</strong> 1–3<br><strong>Skörd:</strong> September–oktober<br><strong>Självfertil:</strong> Ja</p>

The white mulberry originates from West Asia.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The berries on the White Mulberry tree can vary in color - from white to pink to red, to&nbsp;nearly black. The White Mulberries have a sweeter taste than their black-fruited relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong>Morus nigra</strong></span></a> . The berries are rich in antioxidants and, like mulberry leaf tea, are thought to help balance blood sugar levels. Thanks to its unusually high nutritional content, mulberries are considered a so-called "superfood", like <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">the goji berry</span></strong></a> .</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Dried white mulberries berries have a caramel-like taste.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">In addition, the berries contain the substance MFE, which stabilizes the blood sugar level and thus naturally calms the body's craving for sugar. Therefore, mulberries are a common snack-substitute for those who want to get rid of their sweet tooth.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">You can also make juice and jam from the berries.</p> <h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Culture:</strong></h4> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The White Mulberry tree is somewhat hardier than its relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Morus nigra</strong></span></a> and can withstand temperatures down to -30 <span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span> <span data-mce-fragment="1">C.</span> It can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils.
