It is related to "common" cilantro, Coriandrum sativum. The taste of culantro is reminiscent of cilantro, but it is stronger and more solid. Culantro also retains its flavor and color significantly better when dried, making it popular in the dried spices industry. Goes well with soups, rice and fish dishes. An example is the Thai soup Tom Yum, where it marries perfectly the other ingredients. It's also common in accompanying seafood sauces, often together with lime, chili and more. The plant's leaves and roots are also to be used in tea to stimulate the appetite and relieve fever & stomach aches. There are additional areas of use.  <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</h4> Culantro is easy to grow and thrives best in well-drained soils in sun/part shade. The soil should be kept on the drier side, without drying out completely. It takes about 60 days for the plant to be ready for the first harvest. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</h4> Sow directly on the plant site when the soil has warmed up or pre-cultivate indoors. 1 cm deep.

A pure male plant is recommended for best fruit setting. Common names: Minikiwi, Gooseberry Actinidia, Hardy Kiwi Scientific name: Actinidia arguta Family: Actinidiaceae Plant history & use: Minikiwi is a perennial climbing plant originating from Japan, Korea, and northern China. It is a hardy kiwi variety that can grow and produce good fruit outdoors in our climate. The fruits are small and hairless, eaten with the skin on, unlike the hairy kiwifruits we are used to buying in stores. The 'Geneva' variety is an American variety found growing near Hedrick Hall at Cornell Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. The variety is hardy down to at least -25℃ and produces smooth, very sweet fruits with reddish skin. The 'Geneva' variety consists of female plants and needs either a male plant or a hermaphrodite plant, such as <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/minikiwi-planta-30-60-cm-actinidia-arguta-issai" title="Minikiwi 'Issai' Plant 50-60 cm (Actinidia arguta x polygama)" rel="noopener" target="_blank">the 'Issai' variety</a>, nearby for pollination. The fruits are a rich source of vitamin C (up to 5 times more than, for example, blackcurrants) and can be eaten directly from the plant without peeling. The fruits can also be made into jam. In Korea, young leaves are used in a vegetable dish called namul. Cultivation: Minikiwi 'Geneva' is a hardy variety that withstands temperatures down to -25℃. It has a twining growth habit and <meta charset="utf-8">can grow up to 3-4 meters tall. Some type of climbing support is necessary, such as a trellis, wall, or pergola. <meta charset="utf-8"> If you want to grow it in a food forest, it works excellently to let the Minikiwi grow against a tree trunk - just try to ensure there is reasonably good light reaching the plant. In June-July, 'Geneva' blooms with small, fragrant white flowers that then turn into flavorful, smooth small fruits. <meta charset="utf-8">The summer-green leaves turn a beautiful yellow in autumn. <meta charset="utf-8"> The 'Geneva' variety usually bears fruit already the second year after planting. An established plant can produce large amounts of fruit per year, about 25kg per plant and sometimes more. Minikiwi thrives best in a sunny, warm, and sheltered location. The optimal growing place is in a greenhouse, against a wall, or a trellis. However, it also does well outside a greenhouse and in shadier environments - but for best fruit production, the plant should at least be provided with good light access and wind protection. Plant Minikiwi in a nutrient-rich, well-drained, and moisture-retentive soil. If you want to fertilize, it should be done with, for example, blueberry fertilizer, as Minikiwi thrives best in a slightly acidic pH. Natural fertilizer and compost also work well. <meta charset="utf-8">It is advantageous to grow against a trellis to get good air circulation and more sunlight to the fruits.

A pure male plant is recommended for best fruiting. Common names: Minikiwi, Gooseberry, Hardy Kiwi Scientific name: Actinidia arguta Family: Actinidiaceae Plant history & use: Minikiwi is a perennial climbing plant that originates in Japan, Korea and northern China. It is a hardy Kiwi variety that can grow and produce good fruit outdoors in our climate. The fruits are small and hairless, and are eaten with the skin on, unlike the hairy kiwifruit we are used to buying in stores. The variety 'Weiki' is a German variety that, like 'Jumbo', is known for its large fruits. The fruits are sweet and flavorful and resemble the common kiwi in taste. The variety is very hardy in our Nordic climate and has a compact growth habit, making it suitable for covering a surface - for example, a wall or trellis. 'Weiki' produces cherry-red fruits with firm flesh that have a good shelf life after harvest. The fruits ripen in September-October. The fruits are a rich source of vitamin C (up to 5 times more than blackcurrants, for example) and can be eaten straight from the plant without peeling. The fruits can also be used to make jam. In Korea, young leaves are used in a vegetable dish called namul. Culture: Mini kiwi 'Weiki' is a hardy variety that can withstand temperatures down to -25 ℃ . It has a winding growth habit and<meta charset="utf-8"> can grow up to 3-4 meters high. Some type of climbing support is necessary, such as a trellis, wall or pergola. If you want to grow in a forest garden, it works great to let Minikiwn grow against a tree trunk - try to make sure that there is a fairly good amount of light entering the plant. In June, 'Weiki' blooms with small, fragrant white flowers that then turn into tasty, smooth small fruits. <meta charset="utf-8">The summer green leaves turn a beautiful yellow in the fall. The mini kiwi thrives best in a sunny, warm and sheltered location. The optimal growing location is in a greenhouse, against a wall or a trellis. However, it also does well outside the greenhouse and in shadier environments - but for best fruit production, the plant should at least be provided with good light and wind protection. Plant Minikiwi in a nutrient-rich, well-drained and moisture-retaining soil. If you want to fertilize, it should be done with, for example, blueberry fertilizer, as Minikiwi thrives best in a slightly acidic pH. Natural fertilizer and compost also work well. This 'Weiki' is a female plant and needs to be planted with a male plant (within the same genus: Actinidia spp. ) to bear fruit. It may take a couple of years before the plant starts producing fruit. An established plant can produce large amounts of fruit per year, around 25kg per plant and in some cases more. <meta charset="utf-8"> It is advantageous to grow against a trellis to get good air circulation and more sunlight for the fruits. Pruning: <ul> <li> The first year of planting, it is a good idea to let the plant start to take shape in 1-3 main stems. Top your main stem(s) at the end of the season to make them stronger next year.</li> <li> The second year you top the main shoots that come from the main trunks again. The side branches, or long shoots, then begin to develop. You should stick to a maximum of 4 long shoots per main trunk.</li> <li>In the third year, the long shoots should also be shortened to 1-1.5 meters. At this time, flowers often begin to form around the first few centimeters of the side branches, which then turn into fine fruits.</li> <li> In the following years, year by year, you select the best side branches/long shoots on your plant. Cut away the other emerging branches. In this way, you have formed a star-shaped branch attachment, a collar, which supports the rest of the plant with fruits.</li> <li> Do not leave too many side branches as this will result in a dense plant with fewer fruits. By topping emerging herbaceous branches during the summer you allow more sunlight and air to reach the fruits, which will benefit their growth.</li> <li> Any pruning of woody plant parts is done in late autumn/early winter to avoid bleeding.</li> </ul> Features: Year: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: 3-4 m Growing zone: 1-5

Mulberry 'Full Seasons' 70-120 cm (White Mulberry)

276 SEK

Mulberry 'Full Seasons': current height 70-120 cm The plants bore fruit in June and are now setting berries for a second round (written 24/9-24) Common names: Mulberry, White Mulberry Scientific name: Morus alba Family: Moraceae Plant history & use: 'Full Seasons' is a variety that produces abundant large, almost swollen, juicy fruits. The berries are harvested when they turn black. Somewhat shorter than wild types: grows to about 4-5 meters. Same good hardiness. General info about mulberries: Mulberry trees are among our oldest cultivated plants. The black mulberry tree, like the white variety, <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/vitt-mullbar-morus-alba" title="White mulberry (Morus alba)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Morus alba</a>, originates from West Asia – however, the black mulberry tree came to Europe a few hundred years before the white one. The earliest known finds of the black mulberry tree date back to around 300 BC. It is possible that Morus nigra originates somewhat further southwest (closer to Europe) in West Asia than its relative Morus alba, which may explain why Morus nigra has slightly less hardiness in cold climates than its relative. Traditionally, the black mulberry was used to make wine and cosmetics – thanks to its high concentration of anthocyanins which give the berry its deep dark color. But the berries were also grown for fresh consumption. Unlike the white mulberry tree’s fruits, which can vary in color, the black mulberry tree’s fruits are always black when ripe. The black mulberry is also more tart. The berries are rich in antioxidants and are believed, like tea made from mulberry leaves, to help balance blood sugar levels. This is thanks to the content of the substance MFE which stabilizes blood sugar levels and thereby reduces the body's craving for sweets. Therefore, mulberries are a common substitute for those who want to overcome sweet cravings. Due to the berries’ unusually high nutritional content, mulberries, like <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" data-mce-fragment="1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">goji berry</a>, are considered a so-called "superfood". Besides mulberry wine, one can also make juice and jam from the berries. From the leaves, one can brew healthy tea which has historically been drunk in China and has recently started to become popular again in Asia. Cultivation: Mojo Berry® is hardy down to -10°C = outdoor cultivation zones 1-2. If the tree is winter-covered with sheep’s wool or similar, it can survive outdoors up to zone 5. Alternatively, grow in a pot and place in a greenhouse/storage over winter. The tree can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. Tolerant of windy coastal climates but optimal growth is given in warm, sheltered locations. Suitable as a trellis tree as the branches are easily bendable. Mulberry trees also suit forest gardens well as they are a popular host plant among many organisms and provide recurring harvests without much care while protecting plants in the lower layers. Mulberries are self-fertile, meaning only one tree is needed to bear fruit. Prune in winter when the tree is dormant to avoid excessive "bleeding," which is otherwise a common trait of mulberry plants. The berries ripen continuously from May to September. The berries are harvested when the color changes from red to coal black. A tip is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between the fingers.
