Its sweet, warm flavor bouquet is complex and particularly reminiscent of cinnamon and anise. Considered by some to be one of the most fragrant basil plants.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Mexican Basil has glossy, deep green leaves that turn reddish at the tips when ripe and develop dark cinnamon-colored stems over time. Its warm, sweet cinnamon-anise flavor is especially pleasant in ham and pork dishes; apple pie, pumpkin pie and other desserts; applesauce/mashed potatoes and even kombucha.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Often added to hot drinks and often paired with fresh fruit.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Mexican Basil goes well with Mexican, Asian and sweet dishes. For example, a dish with rice and spicy chicken or spicy vegetables. You can also chop the basil and mix with cucumber. Use the cucumber-basil mixture as a topping for, for example, chickpea patties.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> The violet flower heads make an exciting garnish or a flavorful addition to salads. <span data-mce-fragment="1">Add frozen basil leaves to soups or sauces.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> You can add Mexican Basil to most recipes that include some type of basil, just experiment!</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Also placed in mixed plantings to repel insect pests.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong>Culture:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> This variety reaches up to about 80 cm in height. Prefers humus-rich and airy soils in warm, sunny, sheltered places. If the previous requirements are met, it is also important to water a lot - then the basil grows quickly. Does not like windy locations.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Harvest the leaves and stems from the top of the plant and pinch off the edible flower buds as they emerge, as this prevents the leaves from becoming bitter and signals the plant to branch out and grow more leaves, creating a dense and bushy plant.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Frost sensitive. Move indoors during the winter months to grow as perennial basil. If you place it under a grow light it will do fine throughout the winter months, and then move outside when the heat returns.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The Mexican Basil is a perennial in <span data-mce-fragment="1"><a data-mce-fragment="1" rel="noopener" title="Growing zones - Swedish Zones &amp; USDA zones in Sweden and the rest of the world" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/pages/vaxtzoner-svenska-usda-europa" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/pages/vaxtzoner-svenska-usda-europa"><span data-mce-fragment="1" style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">USDA zones</strong></span></a> 9-11, otherwise an annual.

Basil is an easy-to-germinate plant. Therefore, simply scatter the seeds on the moist soil and press them down gently so that they make good contact with the soil surface. Do not cover with soil.</span></p> <p> To preserve moisture, cover the seeds with plastic wrap or a plastic bag with air holes. Then place the seeds in a warm place with good drainage and leave until the seeds have germinated. It usually takes between 5-15 days for the seeds to germinate.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Features</strong> <span data-mce-fragment="1">:</span><br data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Annuality: Perennial in warmer climates, otherwise annual</span><br data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Growing position: sun</span><br data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Height: 30-80 cm</span><br data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Germination time: 5-15 days</span></p>

This variety stands out with its reddish fruits that ripen early – often already in early to mid-September – allowing harvest before the autumn frost strikes in most parts of the country.</p> <p>The fruits are small, smooth, and can be eaten with the skin on. They have a sweet, fresh, flavorful flesh with a subtle berry note. They are perfect as a snack straight from the plant, in fruit salad, or dried as healthy treats.</p> <p>Female plants like this require pollination from a male plant, for example the variety <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/minikiwi-weiki-hanplanta-50-60-cm-actinidia-arguta" title="Minikiwi 'Weiki' Male Plant 60-80 cm (Actinidia arguta)"><strong><span style="color: rgb(78, 153, 29);">'Weiki'</span></strong></a> – or a hermaphrodite variety such as <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/minikiwi-planta-30-60-cm-actinidia-arguta-issai" title="Minikiwi 'Issai' Self-fertile Variety 60-80 cm (Actinidia arguta x polygama)"><strong><span style="color: rgb(78, 153, 29);">'Issai'</span></strong></a>.</p> <h4>Cultivation</h4> <p>Thrives best in a sunny, warm, and sheltered spot in humus-rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic reaction. The variety is fast-growing and likes to climb – trellis, pergola, or tree work well as support.

Unlike most other minikiwi varieties, this one does not require a separate male plant to bear fruit, making it ideal for smaller gardens or container growing – also as a pollinator for other female plants.</p> <p>The variety is developed to yield abundant harvests – the berries are green, smooth, and fragrant fruits with an intense, sweet taste. The fruits of 'Vitikiwi' are small and elongated with a diameter of 2-3 cm and can be eaten with the skin on.</p> <p>Harvest takes place in September–October and the berries are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Perfect as snacks straight from the bush, in salads, or for jam and juice.</p> <h4>Cultivation</h4> <p>Minikiwi thrives best in a sunny, sheltered spot and should be planted in humus-rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic reaction. Hardy like other minikiwi varieties – withstands temperatures down to about -25°C – allowing cultivation in large parts of the country. Since the plant grows climbing, it should be supported by a trellis or pergola. Water evenly during the season and avoid the roots drying out. Prune in late summer or early autumn to shape the plant and limit vigorous growth.</p> <h4>Characteristics</h4> <p><strong>Perennial:</strong> Perennial<br><strong>Growing position:</strong> Sun to partial shade<br><strong>Height:</strong> 3–5 meters (with support)<br><strong>Hardiness zone:</strong> 1–4<br></p>

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.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">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.
