<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. The tea bush can be overwintered outdoors in Sweden, depending on the location and circumstances, the plants may need to be covered for the winter (e.g. with straw).</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Protect from cold winds with some windbreak, such as non-woven fabric attached to posts around the plant, and cover with straw or similar during the winter months.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Tea thrives in acidic soil, use Rhododendron soil when repotting the plant for the first time.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong>Features:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Year: Perennial<br data-mce-fragment="1"> Growing position: sun/partial shade<br data-mce-fragment="1"> Height: 1-2 meters<br> Growing zone: 1-4</p>

The taste should be somewhere between a lime and a grapefruit.</p> <p>Freshly harvested fruits do not contain much juice, but if you let them sit for about 2 weeks after harvest, the juice content increases to about 20%. Fruits are rich in vitamin C.</p> <p>The fruit peel is used as a seasoning, dried or fresh. The whole fruit can also be sliced ​​into pieces and dried for use as a seasoning. Younger leaves are edible.</p> <p>Thorns and bark have historically been used to relieve toothache (Duke. JA and Ayensu. ES). Bark from the trunk is used for stomach problems such as bloating, etc.</p> <p>One tree/bush can generate up to 14 kg of fruit.</p> <p>The whole plant, but especially the flowers, are very aromatic. Flowers fragrantly in April-May. Beautiful foliage in autumn. Eye-catchingly beautiful in winter with its yellow fruits on a bare stem.</p> <p>Used as a rootstock for other citrus species - adds an extra 3ºC in hardiness to the grafted plant (Natural Food Institute).</p> <p>Lemon thorn hybridizes extensively with other citrus species, making it a good breeding parent if you intend to develop new hardy citrus varieties. For example, <em>Citrange</em> is a type of hardy orange that was developed by crossing Lemon thorn with a "regular" orange.</p> <p>In addition to contributing hardiness in breeding programs, Lemonthorn can be used to transfer, among other things: good disease resistance, tolerance to more nutrient-poor soils and low-growing characteristics.</p> <p>The sharp thorns and bushy growth habit make it very suitable as a boundary hedge.</p> <div title="Page 2" class="page"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <h4><strong>Culture:</strong></h4> <p>Easy to grow.

This is a hardier variety of Holy Basil ( <em>O. tenuiflorum</em> ), a completely different species to be exact. It is better suited to growing in our climate as it is more used to lower temperatures and also resistant to frost. The herb grows faster than its cousin <span style="color: rgb(78, 153, 29);"><a style="color: rgb(78, 153, 29);" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/helig-basilika-ocimum-tenuiflorum" title="Holy Basil / Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum)" target="_blank"><em><strong>O. tenuiflorum</strong></em></a></span> but the life cycle is also shorter - harvesting can be done after just 40 days.

Notes of vanilla and myrrh are also common. Most widely used for making tea due to its distinct aroma and healthy nutritional profile. It is also used in cooking.</p> <p> Holy basil is often confused with Thai basil ( <em>Ocimum basilicum</em> var. <em>thyrsiflora</em> ) - which is a different species.</p> <p> As one of the most widely used ancient medicinal plants, Holy Basil has been used to treat common colds, headaches, and various stress disorders, among other things. The stem, leaves, and seeds are used for these purposes.</p> <p>In traditional societies, the herb is also used as a natural mosquito repellent, by applying the aroma from the plant to the skin.</p> <p> The abundantly blooming purple inflorescences are attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.</p> <p> <strong>Cultivation</strong> <span>:</span></p> <p> Abundant flowering.

Self-seeds more efficiently than other basil varieties.</p> <p> Use a well-drained, humus-rich soil and place in partial shade or full sun, it will do well in both. Allowing the soil to dry out between waterings will increase the plant's aroma production (= more flavor) - this is a result of the plant's response to stress.</p> <p>Grow in a pot or flower bed as a low-growing herb. If you grow it outdoors and want to let it grow there year after year, you can let it flower and set seed - it will most likely self-sow and germinate next year.</p> <p> If you want the plant to focus more on foliage growth, you can cut off inflorescences before they have time to develop.</p> <p> Basil is easy to take cuttings from, make a diagonal cut with a clean tool just below a leaf. The cutting should be around 15 cm. Remove the bottom leaves from the cutting and place in a glass of water that you change regularly.
