<p>Goji berries are one of the most popular superfoods on the market and they are often used in muesli, smoothies, salads and bread or simply eaten as they are. The reason for its popularity is probably because the goji berry is one of the most nutrient-dense berries available. It is rich in vitamins and minerals as well as omega-3 and antioxidants. The goji berry also has a particularly high protein content of 10g per 100g, which is very unusual among fruits and berries. The taste is sweet with hints of cranberry and cherry. The berries are usually dried before use.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The red goji berry is richer in carotenoids than the <a title="Black Goji Berry (Lycium ruthenicum)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-goji-lycium-ruthenicum" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;"><strong>black goji berry</strong></span></a>, while the black one is richer in antioxidants.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The root is used in herbal medicine for its liver cleansing properties.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">In Asia the leaves are cooked in stews and soups or made into tea.</p>
<h4><strong>Cultivation:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Goji grows wild in Asia and since it was brought into Europe it has also started to spread itself naturally here. The plant is a deciduous shrub that usually grows 80-200 cm high.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The goji plant is very easy to care for and it is tolerant for both salt and wind. For this reason it is often planted as a soil binder as a barrier along the beachside in costal regions. It thrives well in both sun and partial shade, this is an adaptable plant!</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The Goji berry can be grown in all of Europe. </p>
<h4><strong>Sowing:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The seeds are sown indoors in moist soil, outdoors in pots or in the open field. Optimal germination temperature is around 20-25 <span data-mce-fragment="1">ºC</span> . It can take 3-4 months for the newly germinated plants to get ready for transplanting, so it is recommended that you sow early in the year. Then you have a good chance of harvesting already the same year.</p>

<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">'Sadova No. 1' is a self-pollinating variety - only one individual is needed for fruiting.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Schisandra berries - 'The berries of five flavors', originating in the regions around northeastern China, Korea, eastern Russia and northern Japan,</span><span data-mce-fragment="1"> </span><span data-mce-fragment="1">has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2000 years. Recently, the berry has also begun to gain attention in the West. The name comes from the reputation that the berries possess all of the following flavors: <em>sweetness</em> , <em>sourness</em> , <em>saltiness</em> , <em>bitterness</em> and <em>spice</em> .</span> <span data-mce-fragment="1">The taste is described as good, if peculiar.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">The orange-red berries grow in grape-like clusters and are usually sun-dried after harvest.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1"></span><span data-mce-fragment="1">Schisandra berries, like goji berries, have a very high nutritional content in relation to their weight. The berry contains the antioxidant glutathione, which, among other things, promotes the body's recovery after physical exertion. Glutathione is also necessary for other antioxidants in the body to function. Schisandra berries are often referred to as a "super berry", like goji berries and others.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Schisandra berries are considered adaptogens, and therefore have the ability to help the body adapt under various stressful circumstances in the form of heat, cold, physical exertion and mental stress. Studies have also been conducted that have shown that consuming the berries has led to improved fine motor skills as well as increased concentration, endurance and better functioning reflexes. For the following reasons, Schisandra berries are a popular supplement among athletes, and their use as such is particularly widespread in Russia and Asia.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Schisandra berries are also said to have a positive effect on vision.<meta charset="utf-8"> They are also thought to be able to strengthen resistance to viral infections such as colds and flu.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">As with most "superberries", the benefits seem almost 'endless' - after all, there are studies that back up these claims, while a few other studies have not achieved the same results. It should be up to each individual to try it, to truly determine how it affects or does not affect. There is a lot to read about these alleged benefits for those interested.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1"><meta charset="utf-8">In the East, the berries are used as medicine, in wine production, and for juices and teas.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">You can use Schisandra berries in a similar way to dried cranberries: for example, topping overnight oats, adding to porridge, in raw food balls, making juice, smoothies, etc.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> Have seen widespread uses for Schisandra berries: as an ingredient in Kombucha brews and in punch, Schisandra syrup and cakes baked with Schisandra powder.<meta charset="utf-8"> Jelly cooked on the berries should be an interesting delicacy.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Schisandra berries are very suitable (and increasingly well-known) to take with you on hikes as the berries are both nutrient-dense, energy-rich and have performance-enhancing properties.</p>

<p data-mce-fragment="1">1 Cherry Dogwood: 3 years old - current height 50-70 cm</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Common name</b> : Cornelian Cherry, Cherry Dogwood, Cornelian Cherry Dogwood<br> <b>Scientific name</b> : <i>Cornus mas</i><br> <b>Family</b> : Cornaceae</span></p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</strong></h4>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We [Trädgårdsdags] like to refer to the Cherry Dogwood as Europe's (yellow-coloured) counterpart to Sakura - the Japanese cherry trees, which also bloom on bare branches. Like the cherry trees, the Cherry Dogwood also produces interesting, edible berries that can be used for many things.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The natural distribution of Cherry Dogwood extends from Central and Southeast Europe to Western Asia around the Caucasus, but it has also been successfully planted among others, in Sweden and North America.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Cherry Dogwood is usually used for its ornamental value early during year. With its abundant flowering on bare twigs in March-April, it is an invigorating sight before much else has had time to bloom. As such, it also provides a valuable early source of nectar and pollen for pollinators. The flowers are small and yellow and sit in clusters.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">From the flowers it becomes<meta charset="utf-8"> then olive-shaped red berries that are edible. The berries ripen in late summer or early fall. The fruit is hard, sour and harsh before it is ripe but softens and increases in sweetness as it ripens. Another guide to when the fruit is ripe is to look at the ground - when the fruit starts to fall, it has sweetened. For easier harvesting, you can then shake the branches and then pick up the berries that fall, this because they do not all ripen at the same time.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The berries described as cranberry/sour cherry/plum taste can be used to make jelly, jam, juice, fruit wine and as a cocktail berry. The kernels can be roasted, ground and then used as a coffee substitute and unripe fruits can be put in and eaten as a substitute for olives. The Cherry Dogwood has long been used in Mediterranean countries and Western Asia precisely for its fruits and the medicinal qualities they are considered to have. The berries contain a high content of vitamin C and the antioxidant anthocyanin, which gives the fruit its color.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Cherry Dogwood is self-pollinating, but the harvest can be more abundant if several individuals are planted together.</span></p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</strong></h4>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Cherry Dogwood thrives best in full sun to partial shade, but also works well in shadier locations, but then sets fewer berries.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If it is allowed to grow freely, it will become a wide and full-bodied bush. It is also perfectly possible to stem it into a small tree and the crown can be as wide as the tree can be tall. Free-growing, it becomes multi-stemmed, but it is just as well to choose to keep and stem one of the stems. Cherry Dogwood can also be used as a hedge plant as it responds well to pruning.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Has an upright growing habit, but if the branches become long, their tips may start to point downwards.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Cherry Dogwood prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and is not picky about pH, although calcareous soil is particularly favorable. The<i> </i>is favored by heat and tolerates drought once it has established itself.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The trunk is grey-brown and the bark of slightly older individuals flakes finely. The Cherry Dogwood is deciduous and the autumn color is a beautiful brown-yellow to reddish-brown.</span></p>

<p> 1st plant Minikiwi 'Issai': 2 years old - current height 80-100 cm</p>
<p><meta charset="utf-8"> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The picture is just an example, this batch of plants is taller and stronger.</strong></span></p>
<p> <strong>Common names:</strong> Minikiwi 'Issai', Gooseberry Actinidia, Hardy Kiwi <br><strong>Scientific name:</strong> <em>Actinidia arguta x <span>polygama</span></em><em><br></em> <strong>Family:</strong> Actinidiaceae</p>
<p> <strong><span>Plant history & use:</span></strong></p>
<p> 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.</p>
<p> The variety 'Issai' is a Japanese hybrid between a Minikiwi from Russia/China (Actinida arguta) and a Climbing Actinidian (Actinidia polygama). The combination resulted in a tasty, very hardy and vigorous Kiwi variety that is excellent for growing in our Nordic climate.</p>
<p> 'Issai' is self-fertile and produces small green, smooth fruits that are about 3 cm in diameter.</p>
<p>The fruits ripen in September and have a green flesh with a fresh and sweet-sour taste, similar to the "regular" kiwi.</p>
<p class="p1"> <span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"> <span class="s1">In Korea, young leaves are used in a vegetable dish called namul.</span></p>
<p> <strong>Culture:</strong></p>
<p class="p1"> <span class="s1">Mini kiwi 'Issai' is a hardy variety that can withstand temperatures down to -30 <span class="s2">℃</span> .</span> 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. <span class="Apple-converted-space"><meta charset="utf-8">
<span>If you want to grow in a forest garden, it works great to let Minikiwn grow against a tree trunk -<meta charset="utf-8"> Just try to make sure there is reasonably good light entering the plant.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">In June, 'Issai' 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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"> <span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"> <span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Although 'Issai' is self-fertile, it is advantageous to co-plant it with a male plant (within the same genus: <em>Actinidia spp.</em> ) to promote fruit production. It may take a couple of years before the plant starts producing fruit. An established plant can produce large quantities</span> <span class="s1">of fruit per year, around 25kg per plant and in some cases more.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><meta charset="utf-8"> It is advantageous to grow against a trellis to get good air circulation and more sunlight for the fruits.</p>
<p class="p1"> Pruning when trellising:</p>
<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>

Some type of climbing support is necessary, such as a trellis, wall or pergola. <span class="Apple-converted-space">If you want to grow in a forest garden, it works great to let Minikiwn grow against a tree trunk - just try to make sure that there is a fairly good amount of light entering the plant.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">In June, 'Ken's Red' 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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"> <span class="s1">Mini kiwi thrives best in a sunny, warm and sheltered location. The optimal growing location is in a greenhouse, against a wall or trellis. However, it also does well outside greenhouses and in shadier environments - but for best fruit production, the plant should at least be provided with good light and wind protection.</span></p>
<p class="p1"> <span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">'Ken's Red' needs to be planted with a male plant (within the same genus: <em>Actinidia spp.</em> ) to bear fruit. It may take a couple of years before the plant starts producing fruit. An established plant can produce large amounts of</span> <span class="s1">fruit per year, around 25kg per plant and in some cases more.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><meta charset="utf-8"> It is advantageous to grow against a trellis to get good air circulation and more sunlight for the fruits.</p>
<p class="p1"> Pruning:</p>
<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>
