It is the result of a cross between the European grapevine (<em>Vitis vinifera</em>) and the extremely hardy East Asian species <em>Vitis amurensis</em>. The variety was developed in the Czech Republic in the 1960s and has become popular for wine growing in colder climates, especially in Denmark, Germany, and Sweden. The grapes are small to medium-sized, blue-violet, and ripen early – often already in August–September in southern Sweden. They have a sweet and aromatic taste, perfect for both fresh consumption and the production of robust red wines with deep color and fruity character. The skins are thin and the grape has high color intensity, which makes it especially valued by winemakers.</p> <h4>Cultivation</h4> <p>'Rondo' is one of the hardiest varieties, able to withstand down to about -25°C. It thrives best in sunny and sheltered locations with well-drained, preferably lime-rich soil. The vines grow vigorously and need support in the form of trellis or pergola.

<p>White Mulberry 'White Berry' tree - current height: 175-200 cm</p> <p>[Picture of tree coming soon]</p> <p>PICKUP ONLY</p> <p><strong>Common name:</strong> White mulberry, White mulberry tree<strong><br>Scientific name:</strong><em> Morus alba<br></em><strong>Family:</strong> Moraceae</p> <h4><strong>Plant history & use:</strong></h4> <p>The variety 'White Berry' is a type that reliably produces white berries. Mulberries are a genus that becomes more confusing the deeper you delve into the subject; there are a multitude of different species and varieties, and the plant’s range seems almost global—they thrive everywhere. In any case, the color of the berries is not always consistent even within the same species: far from all trees within the species <em>Morus alba,</em> also called White Mulberry, produce white berries. Most individuals within the species bear black berries, just like <em>Morus nigra</em>—it is rather the leaves and growth habit that mostly distinguish the species. <em>M. nigra</em>, however, cannot have white berries and always has black berries.</p> <p>For the above reason, there is a need for named varieties with uniform traits. One of these is 'White Berry,' which only has white berries. They are not particularly easy to find—we will have 1 specimen for sale now in January 2025. The goal is to bring in more later in the spring.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8"><strong>General about Mulberries:</strong></p> <p>Mulberry trees are among the world’s oldest cultivated plants—probably best known for being the host of silkworms whose threads are made into silk fabric, since mulberry leaves are practically the only food source for silkworms.

<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. Potting soil works well.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><meta charset="utf-8"> Often grows 15-25 meters tall and has a 6-15 meter wide crown in its natural environment.<meta charset="utf-8"> Water Tupelon often forms an even, dense, round crown.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Water Tupelos are long-lived trees and do not bear fruit until they are about 30 years old.
