<p> 'Tearoma®' is a tea variety bred in Switzerland for its good hardiness and ability to be grown outdoors all year round in our climate. It is still a new phenomenon that you can grow tea in Sweden, not all tea varieties can cope but the ones with the best hardiness on the market today are this variety and the Dutch-bred variety <a rel="noopener" title="Tea bush 'Tea By Me': Hardy variety (Camellia sinensis) 2 &amp; 3 years 30-50 cm" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/tebuske-tetrad-tea-by-me-camellia-sinensis-2-3-ar-30-50-cm" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(78, 153, 29);"><strong>'Tea by Me'</strong></span></a> .</p> <p> Tea bushes/trees 'Tea By Me':</p> <ul> <li> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Height: 30-40 cm</span> </li> <li>Height: 40-50 cm</li> </ul> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong>Common names:</strong> <span>Tea, Tea bush, Tea tree, Tea plant</span><br> <strong>Scientific name:</strong> <em><span>Camellia sinensis</span><br></em> <strong>Family:</strong> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Theaceae</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong><span data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history &amp; use:</span></strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Tea is consumed all over the world and is the second most common drink after water. The tea bush contains theine, which counteracts fatigue, and <em>theanine,</em> which has a calming effect, unlike coffee, which only has the stimulating properties of caffeine (=theine). A cup of tea can therefore be invigorating and calming at the same time.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> It is mainly the leaf buds and leaves that are picked to brew tea, but sometimes the flowers are also used.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">From the tea bush Camellia sinensis, you can make different types of tea: white, yellow, green, blue (oolong), black and “dark” tea. The difference between them is made up of different fermentation and oxidation processes. White tea is not even allowed to oxidize, while “dark” tea is allowed to both oxidize and ferment for long periods. The types in between are gradually more or less in one direction or the other, in the order listed above. All types have their health benefits, sometimes different.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Red tea (rooibos) comes from a different plant species, the Rooibos bush.<span data-mce-fragment="1"> </span><em data-mce-fragment="1">Aspalathus linearis</em> <em data-mce-fragment="1">.</em></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Tea leaves are also used in cooking in Asia - for example, <em>Tea Leaf Salad</em> (fermented leaves) in Burma and (fresh leaves) in Thailand.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong>Culture:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Tea has recently started to be grown in Sweden and there is a successful tea plantation on Gotland that grows for commercial use. The tea bush grows in its natural environment at high altitudes where it gets colder at night, and where it can also be cold during the day.

<p data-mce-fragment="1"> 1st Water Tupelo tree: 3 years old - current height 100-120 cm</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Common Names:</strong> Water Tupelo, Cottongum, Wild Olive, Large Tupelo, Tupelo-Gum, Water-Gum <strong data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1">Scientific name:</strong> <em data-mce-fragment="1">Nyssa aquatica<br data-mce-fragment="1"></em> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Family:</strong> Nyssaceae</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history &amp; use:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Water Tupelo is a striking tree native to North America. 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. The wood is also used for other carpentry and crafts.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The leaves are glossy and turn a beautiful yellow-orange in autumn.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Culture:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Best grown directly in the ground in a designated location, as the tree will become both very large and old.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Cold-resistant, can withstand temperatures down to -25ºC.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Does best in locations with full sun or light shade.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Tolerates poorly drained soils and can grow in standing water. Very resistant to flooding - reports state that the tree <span data-mce-fragment="1">can survive up to 10 months when submerged to as much as ¾ of its height. This ability is possible thanks to the special structure of the tissue which can transport oxygen from the atmosphere to the airy cork-like roots.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Use a humus-rich soil when planting your Water Tupelo to give it a good start.

As early as 4000 BC it was used by the Assyrians and since then the licorice root has been used as a nerve-soother, flu-reliever, anti-infective and more.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">One of the most prominent uses of the Licorice root by our ancestors was to chew it in order to keep their teeth clean and healthy. This was efficient due to the anti-bacterial properties of the&nbsp;<meta charset="utf-8">substance <em>glycyrrhizin</em>&nbsp;present in the roots. It's also the same substance which provides the sweet flavor. However, <meta charset="utf-8">glycyrrhizin is not metabolized by our bodies and may therefore, just as <a title="Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/stevia-sotflockel-stevia-rebaudiana" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/stevia-sotflockel-stevia-rebaudiana"><span><strong>Stevia <span color="#4e991d">(</span><em>Stevia rebaudiana</em><span color="#4e991d">)</span></strong></span></a>, be used as a sweetening substitute for sugar.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Licorice root was sold in pharmacies as a medicine until as late as the 1970s.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The Licorice root can be shredded and made into a tea or a refreshening beverage served with ice.

In most of&nbsp;Europe, it can be grown outdoors all year round. To protect the plant during the winter, cover the base with twigs, leaves, straw or similar.&nbsp;Measures such as these&nbsp;can allow your Licorice root plant to thrive even in locations that are generally viewed as&nbsp;below its temperature range. The USDA Zone of the Licorice root range from 7-10.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Licorice root may also be grown in a wide pot, put outdoors during the warmer months, and indoors during the colder months.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Licorice root thrives best in well-drained soil and locations with full sun.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The roots, which are the main part used for consumption, become meters long, so a large pot is recommended for pot cultivation. It takes about 3 years for the plant to become harvestable and&nbsp;by that time it&nbsp;will likely have grown&nbsp;to become a fairly large bush.&nbsp;</p> <h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</strong></h4> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The seeds can be sown directly outdoors when the soil temperature has risen to above 15 <meta charset="utf-8">ºC.&nbsp;The seeds can also&nbsp;be pre-cultivated indoors any time of the year.<br></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Soak the seeds for 1 day before sowing.
