Persian Silk Tree 50-80 cm (Albizia julibrissin)

From €25,95 EUR

1 Persian Silk Tree: 2 years old - current height 50-80 cm Common names: Silk Tree, Persian Silk Tree, Pink Silk Tree, Tree of Happiness, Mimosa Scientific name: Albizia julibrissin Family: Fabaceae Plant history & use: The silk tree is a striking tree whose origin can be traced to the area around Iran & Azerbaijan through China, to Korea. The tree is characterized by its fluffy, bright pink flowers that resemble a silky feather crown. Its beauty has made it a prized tree all over the world. The silk tree has also been used for its edible and medicinal properties for centuries. Young leaves are eaten as a vegetable - boiled or steamed. They are described as having an aromatic taste. Even flowers are boiled for consumption. A historically known kitchen plant in its home regions. <meta charset="utf-8"> The plant's bark, leaves and flowers & flower buds are used to make teas and extracts with reputed health benefits. Flowers are harvested at opening and the bark is harvested in spring or late summer to be dried for later consumption. Tea made from flowers is said to have a delicate, sweet flavor and relieve stress, tension and even minor depression. It is probably one of the reasons why the tree is also called "The Tree of Happiness". Please decide for yourself if this is right for you. You can also make gel from recently bloomed flowers. In traditional Asian medicine, it has been used, among other things, to calm nerves and as a mild sedative for sleep disorders. Flowers have been observed to be effective in attracting bees & butterflies (as well as hummingbirds in America). <meta charset="utf-8"> This tree, like other plants in the pea family (Fabaceae), cooperates with soil bacteria which bind nitrogen from the air and fix it to the tree's roots. In this way, the plant area is supplied all around with nitrogen that would otherwise have been inaccessible to the vegetation - that is why we call plants that have such a cooperation precisely Land improvers . The wood is also used to make furniture. Culture: The silk tree can be grown outdoors in the more favorable locations in Sweden (roughly from Uppsala and southward according to plant zones).<meta charset="utf-8"> However, the tree must be hardy down to -25<meta charset="utf-8"> °C, so geographical location is as often ambiguous and success largely depends on the actual plant location. T thrives best in warm and sunny places - a good place is in a sheltered position against a south wall. Young shoots can be sensitive to cold and frost. Please protect the tree during the winter if you grow outdoors, for example with straw around the base and wind protection in the form of fiber cloth attached to stakes around the tree if it is in an exposed position. This probably only needs to be done the first winter after purchasing these 2-year-old trees. <meta charset="utf-8"> The silk tree can otherwise be grown in a pot that is protected over the winter. <meta charset="utf-8"> The silk tree is a fast-growing tree with a relatively low water requirement that can stand in direct sun. The tree prefers well-drained soil and moderate irrigation. Specifically: water a lot and infrequently, to encourage a higher growth rate. Fairly drought tolerant. Resistant to pruning. Can be shaped to grow next to a house wall, for example. Pruning is done in late winter or early spring. Characteristics: Age: Perennial Plant position: sun Height: 5-7 m Growing zone: 1-4

Flower dogwood 50-100 cm (Cornus kousa var. chinensis)

From €34,95 EUR

Flowering dogwood in 2 different sizes: <ul> <li> 1 year old - current height 50-70 cm</li> </ul> <ul> <li> 3 years old - current height 80-100 cm</li> </ul> <meta charset="utf-8"> The image is only an example and does not represent the exact size of the different variants. Common name: Flowering dogwood Scientific name: Cornus kousa Family: Cornaceae Plant history & use: The flowering dogwood is a small, dense shrub native to Northeast Asia. In spring, it produces numerous bright white flowers that brighten up shady areas in the garden. In late summer, the tree produces peculiar pinkish-red edible fruits, 2-3 cm in diameter. These fruits can be used to make jam or bake pies. In Asia, they are used to make juice and ferment into wine. The bark on thicker trunks flakes and creates a beautiful pattern of varied colors. The leaves on the tree also turn a beautiful bright red/orange color in the fall. Culture: The flowering dogwood is a deciduous tree that thrives in most of Sweden. The tree is relatively long-lived (50-150 years) and is hardy to cold climates. Unlike many plants, flowering dogwood thrives in shady locations. It should also be protected from the wind. If the tree is in direct sun, the tree tends to produce more fruit, but of smaller size. An optimal location for the flowering dogwood is under one or more taller deciduous trees - which provide shade and add organic matter to the soil - surrounded by additional vegetation in different layers. This contributes to the moist, wind-protected and semi-shady environment in which the flowering dogwood grows best. The tree's bright blooms can also brighten an otherwise shady "grove". The flowering dogwood has low maintenance requirements and produces large recurring harvests every year. For the reasons mentioned above, the flowering dogwood is an excellent tree to have in a woodland garden. If you don't have such a place in your growing area, a planting spot with morning sun and afternoon shade also works well. Features: Year: Perennial Growing conditions: shade/partial shade Height: 2-3 m Growing zone: 1-3

Eastern Redbud / Judas Tree 70-100 cm (Cercis canadensis)

€50,95 EUR

Eastern Redbud tree: 2 years old - current height 70-100 cm Common Names: <meta charset="utf-8">Eastern Redbud, <meta charset="utf-8">American/Canadian Judas Tree, Mexican/Texas Redbud Scientific name: Cercis canadensis Family: Fabaceae <h4>Plant history & use:</h4> This variety of Judas Tree originates from North America. When the American Judas Tree was discovered by the Spanish in the second half of the 16th century, it was compared to the Judas Tree from<meta charset="utf-8"> the Mediterranean region (Cercis siliquastrum) which they already knew - it is also the tree we most commonly refer to when we say Judas Tree here in the European region. The main differences are that the American Judas Tree has pointed leaves and is slightly smaller in adult size and is more cold hardy - compare<meta charset="utf-8"> C. canadensis ' USDA zones 4-9 with<meta charset="utf-8"> C. siliquastrum's USDA zones 6-10. C. canadensis should also be more suited to moist environments/soils than many other species in the genus. Blooms in March-April with bright pink flowers on the bare trunk, then also on the main trunk of the tree, which is often very eye-catching. Flowering is said to be strongly controlled by the extent of the previous winter. After harsh winters the Judas Tree blooms more profusely, after milder winters less so. The flowers can be eaten raw or pickled. They have a refreshing sour taste and are rich in vitamin C. Exciting addition to a salad. Unopened flower buds can also be pickled or put in like <a title="Capers (Capparis spinosa)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/en/products/kapris-capparis-spinosa" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/en/products/kapris-capparis-spinosa">Capers</a>. Native American tribes in North America covered the ripe seed pods with glowing coals, then peeled and ate the roasted seeds. I assume a modern way to do this is to simply separate the seeds from the pod and roast the seeds over the stove or in the oven to make them ready to eat. Some sources claim to have soaked and boiled the seeds like lentils, which are also a pea plant. The fruits are rich in protein like other plants in the pea family (Fabaceae). Dry seeds contain about 25% protein, 8% fat and 3% minerals of various kinds. To be an unrefined<meta charset="utf-8"> (and wild in North America) source of nutrition this is quite good, nutritionally it competes with both Pecan and Walnut. The seed pods remain on the tree for a long time - they are available from late summer right through to winter - and are considered acceptable for consumption during this period. However, the seed pods can sometimes be found<meta charset="utf-8"> remaining until the spring of the following year, whether they are fit for consumption then or not is not stated. For the aforementioned reasons, the seeds of C. canadensis are considered a useful source of survival food. The young, green and brittle seed pods can be eaten like sugar snap peas - steam them, boil them or stir-fry them. They fit well in a wok with, for example, onions, garlic, paprika and leafy vegetables. The leaves can be eaten as well - younger, brittle leaves are recommended. Tea made from the inner bark has been used to reduce fever etc. Cold brewing of roots and inner bark has been used in old folk medicine to treat whooping cough. Diligent in attracting pollinators with its profuse flowering. Considered a good tree for honey bees. The tree also has many other applications within North American Indian culture. A story about Judas and how he gave the tree its international name is easy to find for those interested in reading. <h4>Cultivation:</h4> Even though the American Judas Tree is considered better suited to moist soils than other species in the genus, it prefers not to grow in excessively wet soils with a high clay content. It thrives best in slightly sandier clay soils. Likes to grow in a sunny position, also does well in light shade. The American Judas tree is a fast-growing tree that often lives up to 80 years old. Flowers appear in March-April on the previous year's growth. The American Judas tree is one of the few species in the pea family that does not fix nitrogen via its roots from air pores in the soil. <h4>Characteristics:</h4> Age: Perennial Location: sun / light shade Height: 6-10 m USDA zone: 4-9

Cherry dogwood 50-70 cm (Cornus mas)

€24,95 EUR

1 Cherry Dogwood: 3 years old - current height 50-70 cm Common name : Cornelian Cherry, Cherry Dogwood, Cornelian Cherry Dogwood Scientific name : Cornus mas Family : Cornaceae <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</h4> 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. 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. 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. 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.  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.  The Cherry Dogwood is self-pollinating, but the harvest can be more abundant if several individuals are planted together. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</h4> The Cherry Dogwood thrives best in full sun to partial shade, but also works well in shadier locations, but then sets fewer berries.  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. Has an upright growing habit, but if the branches become long, their tips may start to point downwards. The Cherry Dogwood prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and is not picky about pH, although calcareous soil is particularly favorable. The is favored by heat and tolerates drought once it has established itself. 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. <h4 class="p1">Characteristics: </h4> Lifespan: Perennial Location: sun/part shade Height: 3-6 m USDA Zone: 1-4

The berries are harvested when they are black in color.<meta charset="utf-8"> Slightly shorter than the wild varieties: grows to around 4-5 metres. Same good hardiness. Info Mulberry in general: Mulberry trees are one of 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)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/vitt-mullbar-morus-alba" target="_blank">Morus alba</a> , originates from West Asia - however, the black mulberry tree came to Europe a couple of hundred years before the white one. The first findings of knowledge about the black mulberry tree were already around 300 BC. It may be that Morus nigra originates somewhat further to the southwest (closer to Europe) in West Asia than its relative Morus alba, and that this is why Morus nigra also has a slightly worse 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 colour. However, the berries were also grown for fresh consumption. Unlike the white mulberry tree, which can vary in color, the black mulberry tree's fruits are always black when ripe. The black mulberry is also more acidic. The berries are rich in antioxidants and, like mulberry leaf tea, are thought to help balance blood sugar levels. This is thanks to content of the substance MFE which stabilizes blood sugar levels and thus suppresses the body's cravings for sweets. Therefore, mulberries are a common substitute for those who want to get rid of their cravings for sweets. 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" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" target="_blank">the goji berry</a> , are considered a so-called "superfood". In addition to mulberry wine, you can also make juice and jam from the berries. The leaves can be used to brew healthy tea, which has historically been drunk in China and has recently begun to become popular in Asia again. Culture: Mojo Berry® is hardy down to -10 ° C = outdoor cultivation zone 1-2 . If you cover the tree with sheep wool or similar for the winter, it can survive outdoors up to zone 5. Alternatively, grow in a pot and place in a greenhouse/storage over the winter. The tree can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. It is resistant to windy coastal climates but grows best in warm, wind-sheltered locations. Suitable as a trellis tree as the branches are easily bendable. Mulberry trees are also well suited to forest orchards as they are a popular host plant among many organisms and provide recurring harvests without much maintenance, as well as protecting plants in lower layers. Mulberries are self-fertile, meaning that only one tree is needed to produce fruit. Prune in winter when the tree is dormant to avoid excessive "bleeding", which is otherwise a common characteristic of mulberry plants. The berries ripen continuously from May to September. The berries are harvested when the color has changed from red to jet black. One tip is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between your fingers.

Trifoliate Orange tree - current height 80-100 cm<meta charset="utf-8"> Trifoliate Orange is self-fertile = only 1 tree is needed for fruiting Common names: Trifoliate Orange, Bitter Orange, Hardy orange, Japanese Bitter Orange, Karatachi Scientific name: Citrus trifoliata / Poncirus trifoliata Family: Rutaceae  <div class="column"> <h4>Plant history & use:</h4> <meta charset="utf-8"> One of the few citrus plants that is truly hardy in our climate. An unusual<meta charset="utf-8"> Deciduous citrus variety with three-fingered leaves and slightly downy fruits. Originates from northern China. Easiest to use in everyday life by squeezing juice from the fruits - and possibly mixing with water to make a refreshing drink that should be very tasty. Tip : peel the fruits and boil in water together with <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/en/collections/plantor/products/sweetleaf%C2%AE-hallon-30-50-cm-rubus-chingii-var-suavissimus" title="'Sweetleaf®' / Sweetleaf 30-50 cm (Rubus chingii var. suavissimus)">'Sweetleaf'</a> leaves to remove the bitterness but at the same time not lose the rich flavor of the peel, and add a little sweetness to the drink. You can also make jams and jellies from the fruits - their rich pectin content makes this a suitable use. The taste should be somewhere between a lime and a grapefruit. 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. 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. 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. One tree/bush can generate up to 14 kg of fruit. 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. Used as a rootstock for other citrus species - adds an extra 3ºC in hardiness to the grafted plant (Natural Food Institute). 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, Citrange is a type of hardy orange that was developed by crossing Lemon thorn with a "regular" orange. 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. The sharp thorns and bushy growth habit make it very suitable as a boundary hedge. <div title="Page 2" class="page"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <h4>Culture:</h4> Easy to grow.

Tamarix / Salt Cedar 80-100 cm (Tamarix tetrandra)

From €20,95 EUR

1 Tamarix Tree: 2 years old - current height 80-100 cm Common names: Tamarix, Salt Cedar Scientific name: Tamarix tetrandra Family: Tamaricaceae Plant history & use: The tamarisk is a graceful deciduous tree with long, flexible branches that are filled with plumes of pale pink flowers - on bare branches - in late spring. The flowers then change to olive green small, scaly leaves. The tamarisk is known for its ability to absorb and concentrate salts in its plant parts. This is useful where you have an outlet for gray water. Gray water is the water that comes out when we clean used water from our kitchens and bathrooms - e.g. dishwashers, washing machines, showers, etc. When this water is purified, various salts are often left behind, which are carried out into the runoff. It is in these outlets that plants such as the Praktamarisken are planted, which seems to be one of the most efficient plants precisely at taking up salt from the ground it grows in. Inability to take up excess salts in the soil can result in problems for surrounding plants, then it affects their natural ability to absorb water via osmosis. <meta charset="utf-8"> You can also grow the Praktamarisken as a shrub. If you don't shape it into a tree by pruning, it usually achieves the structure of a bush on its own. Suitable for growing in mixed hedges as it creates an eye-catching impression with its clear, light pink shades that lift the entire hedge. The branches are used to weave baskets. Diligent in attracting pollinators. Culture: Thrives best in an open, sunny position in a well-drained soil. Preferably loamy and slightly sandy. Tolerant of most soils. Dislikes shallow and calcareous soils. <meta charset="utf-8"> Hardy in coastal climates. Flowers on bare twigs in late spring - the flowers are then replaced by small olive green leaves.

The tea bush contains theine, which counteracts fatigue, and theanine, 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. It is mainly the leaf buds and leaves that are picked to brew tea, but sometimes the flowers are also used. 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. Red tea (rooibos) comes from a different plant species, the Rooibos bush. Aspalathus linearis . Tea leaves are also used in cooking in Asia - for example, Tea Leaf Salad (fermented leaves) in Burma and (fresh leaves) in Thailand. Culture: 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). 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. Tea thrives in acidic soil, use Rhododendron soil when repotting the plant for the first time. Features: Year: Perennial Growing position: sun/partial shade Height: 1-2 meters Growing zone: 1-4

Here you will find both super beautiful shoe models that are created specifically for gardening time and also other models that are well suited for different occasions in the garden. After our own search for good gardening shoes, we found the brand Rouchette, where we especially came to love their ankle boots insulated with neoprene. for the warmth and comfort they provide.

They have also designed a practical sole where no soil gets stuck and is taken into the home - the Frotte&Go system, exclusively developed and used by Rouchette. Rouchette is a family business from France for which we have become a dealer for good reason.

Without exaggeration, these are the most comfortable and practical boots we have ever had. That's where the idea came from to share their usefulness with other growers. The ankle boots are also great for the stable.

You can use the filter function below on the left to easily find the shoes you are looking for.
