White Mulberry Tree 60-90 cm (Morus alba)

From €27,95 EUR

1 White Mulberry Tree: 3 years - current height 60-90 cm Seedlings raised in Swedish climate Common name: White mulberry, White mulberry tree Scientific name: Morus alba Family: Moraceae <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</h4> The Mulberry tree is one of the world's oldest cultivated plants - probably best known for hosting silkworms whose threads are used to produce silk fabric, since Mulberry leaves practically are the silkworm's only source of food. And the leaves from the White Mulberry variety are especially popular among the silkworms. The white mulberry originates from West Asia. The berries on the White Mulberry tree can vary in color - from white to pink to red, to nearly black. The White Mulberries have a sweeter taste than their black-fruited relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank">Morus nigra</a> . The berries are rich in antioxidants and, like mulberry leaf tea, are thought to help balance blood sugar levels. Thanks to its unusually high nutritional content, mulberries are considered a so-called "superfood", like <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" target="_blank">the goji berry</a> . Dried white mulberries berries have a caramel-like taste. In addition, the berries contain the substance MFE, which stabilizes the blood sugar level and thus naturally calms the body's craving for sugar. Therefore, mulberries are a common snack-substitute for those who want to get rid of their sweet tooth. You can also make juice and jam from the berries. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Culture:</h4> The White Mulberry tree is somewhat hardier than its relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank">Morus nigra</a> and can withstand temperatures down to -30 ° C. It can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. Hardy in windy coastal climates but optimal growth is given in warm, wind-sheltered locations. Suitable as a trellis tree as the branches are easily bendable. Mulberry trees also suit well in forest orchards as they are a popular host plant for many organisms and provide recurring harvests without major maintenance and protect plants in lower layers. Mulberries are self-fertile, which means that only one tree is needed to bear fruit. Prune in winter when the tree/shrub is dormant to avoid excessive "bleeding" of the tree, which is otherwise a common characteristic of mulberry plants. The berries ripen continuously from mid-summer to early autumn. When it's time to harvest, a tip is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between your fingers. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1"></h4> <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Characteristics:</h4> Lifespan: Perennial Location: Sun Height: 1-3 m USDA Zone: 4-10

1st plant Butterfly vine: 2 years old - current height 40-80 cm Common names: Butterfly vine, Schisandra berry, Lemon vine, Magnolia Berry, Wu Wei Zi Scientific name: Schisandra chinensis Family: Schisandraceae Plant history & use: 'Sadova No. 1' is a self-pollinating variety - only one individual is needed for fruiting. Schisandra berries - 'The berries of five flavors', originating in the regions around northeastern China, Korea, eastern Russia and northern Japan, 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: sweetness , sourness , saltiness , bitterness and spice . The taste is described as good, if peculiar. The orange-red berries grow in grape-like clusters and are usually sun-dried after harvest. 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. 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. 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. 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. <meta charset="utf-8">In the East, the berries are used as medicine, in wine production, and for juices and teas. 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. 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. 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. <meta charset="utf-8"> Pleasantly fragrant creamy white flowers in early summer. They<meta charset="utf-8"> The glowing orange-red berries in front of the yellowing foliage create a beautiful impression.<meta charset="utf-8"> in the garden during the fall. The berries even hang on after the vine has shed its leaves. Culture: A climbing plant that is well suited to growing against a trellis, pergola or, for example, a tree trunk in forest gardens. Shade tolerant - able to grow<meta charset="utf-8"> against a north wall and still produce good berries. For optimal growth, a location in partial shade is probably best. Not resistant to excessive heat, too much direct sunlight or drought. Use a well-drained, moisture-retaining soil. Berries ripen in September.

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

1 tree Chinese Vegetable Tree: 1 year old - current height 15-30 cm Trivial name: <meta charset="utf-8">Chinese Vegetable Tree, Chinese Toon, Toona, Cigar Box Tree, Chinese Mahogany, Chinese Toon, Onion Tree Scientific name: Toona sinensis / Cedrela sinensis Family: Meliaceae Plant history & use: <meta charset="utf-8"> Chinese Vegetable Tree, or Chinese Toon, is a winter-hardy tree with eye-catching foliage that appears in pink-red tones in spring. In autumn, the leaves have a beautiful golden color. The appearance is just the icing on the cake, the tree has a wide range of different uses. Young shoots and leaves are widely used in Chinese cuisine. The leaves have a crisp texture and the taste is described as umami, nutty and oniony. Another source describes the taste of the cooked leaves as a complex meal in itself - more specifically: like roasted beans with notes of onion and pepper. "Even those who don't like vegetables might like Toona." The leaves are rich in vitamin A and contain about 6% protein, 1% fat, 6.6% carbohydrates and 1.5% minerals of various kinds. The leaves are most often cooked as a component in stir-fries or by steaming/boiling the leaves to eat as a side vegetable. They can also be deep-fried in a tempura-like manner. Young shoots and leaves are also eaten in salads or pickled. In China, leaves and shoots are dried and then ground and used as a spice. The most common areas of use<meta charset="utf-8"> In the few Swedish homes where the plant is grown, it seems to be used to boil broth from the leaves & shoots, make pesto or throw pickled leaves into a hamburger. A tea-like drink is made from the leaves and shoots, and in some cases the fruit. The leaves and shoots are heated in a pan for a short time and then allowed to dry slowly. Roots, bark and fruit have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. The wood is highly prized and resembles mahogany with its dark red color - it is used to make furniture, window frames, etc. The wood also has a delicate scent and is burned in temples as incense. Sometimes called synonymously Cigar Box Tree as the wood has historically been used for making cigar boxes. However, it was predominantly the relative T. odorata that was used for this purpose. Produces beautiful white/pink flowers in large panicles hanging from the branches in August. The flowers are sweetly scented and adept at attracting pollinators. In Chinese culture, T. sinensis is often used symbolically to represent the father figure. From a distance, Chinese Toon can sometimes resemble bamboo, when it is allowed to take root and form a grove. Standing under a large tree, the foliage looks almost palm-like against the sky. An eye-catching plant in many ways. Culture: Originates from eastern Asia - from North Korea, through China all the way down to western Indonesia. Easy to care for and fast growing. Place in a sunny position. Hardy outdoors in zones 1-2. Clear temperatures down to -25ºC have been reported. <meta charset="utf-8">Grows best in moist, fertile, well-drained soils. Tolerates most soil pH. Does not thrive in wet soils. Can be kept low growing and topped for continuous growth of young shoots and leaves. Has good shade tolerance, but the result is narrow, elongated trees that reach up towards the light. Placed in sun or shade, the tree will eventually grow to about 15-20 meters tall. Chinese Toon can live over 100 years. Also top as a larger tree for abundant growth of young leaves & shoots. Sets root shoots at adulthood. Features: Year: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: 15-20 meters Growing zone: 1-2

Comfrey 'Bocking 14' Plant (Symphytum x uplandicum)

€12,95 EUR

1 Comfrey plant - taken from older mother plant of the variety 'Bocking 14' (naturally propagated via root propagation) 'Bocking 14' is a sterile variety which means it lacks the ability to produce and spread through seed. Propagation occurs only underground. This results in 'Bocking 14' together with 'Bocking 4' and others not being classified as invasive. The plant is sent safely and securely with shock-absorbing packaging. Common name: Comfrey, Boneset, Knitbone, Consound, Slippery Root Scientific name: Symphytum x uplandicum Family: Boraginaceae <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</h4> <meta charset="utf-8">Comfrey is historically a well-used plant in the treatment of various ailments. But above all, it is a very effective accumulator of nutrients, i.e. a good soil improver. Comfrey grows quickly and the roots are deep, which gives the plant access to nutrients from deeper soil layers that are otherwise inaccessible to most plants. It is mostly minerals such as potassium and calcium that are stored in the leaves, but also magnesium, iron, phosphorus, manganese and more. The leaves from the comfrey plant can be cut down during the year and used as cover material, or alternatively buried in the soil, to make the nutrients available to other plants. Comfrey leaves are well suited as a fertilizer for fruit trees and berry bushes thanks to their potassium and phosphorus content. Comfrey has a long growing season, early winter to late autumn. If the leaves are not cut before winter, they wither and in the same way add nutrients to the soil they grow on. New leaves begin to emerge on the plant shortly after the snow melts. You can make your own fertilizer tea from comfrey by filling a container with the leaves and then filling with water up to the edge. Leave for a couple of days and then mix the fertilizer tea with 10 parts water to irrigate the plants with. Comfrey is effective as an edging plant near manure piles to prevent nutrient leakage, but also as an edging plant around plantations and other places where you don't want root weeds to spread. Comfrey's dense root system forms an underground wall, making it difficult for other roots to get through. Comfrey creates an overall attractive environment for other plants in your cultivation - through attracting pollinators, serving as a natural fertilizer, and more. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</h4> <meta charset="utf-8">Comfrey is a herbaceous perennial native to Europe. It continues to grow on the site the next year even after the leaves have withered during the winter. It is an incredibly easy-to-grow plant and it is tolerant in the choice of plant location. It can grow in shade as well as wet soils and is therefore an effective component in flooded and waterlogged soils. It also thrives in drier soils in sunny locations, although it does best in a slightly moist environment. <h4 data-mce-fragment="1">Characteristics: </h4> <meta charset="utf-8">Lifespan: Perennial Location: Shade/Semi-shade/Sun Height: 50-180 cm USDA Zone: 3-10

'Sweetleaf®' / Sweetleaf 30-50 cm (Rubus chingii var. suavissimus)

€22,95 EUR

1st plant 'Sweetleaf®': current height 30-50 cm Common name: 'Sweetleaf®' Raspberry, Sweetleaf,<meta charset="utf-8"> 'Sweetleaf®' Raspberry, Sugarleaf Scientific name: <meta charset="utf-8"> Rubus chingii var. suavissimus Family: Rosaceae Plant history & use: Sweetleaf® is a raspberry species originating from China, where it grows mainly in the southern provinces of Guizhou, Guang Dong and Guangxi. The shrub is relatively unknown but is becoming highly sought after due to its sweetening ability and hardy qualities. <meta charset="utf-8"> Sweetleaf® can be described as a more hardy alternative to Stevia: as its leaves contain so-called 'rubusosides' which are part of the same glycoside group as steviosides, and as it is fully winter-hardy and even has a vigorous growth habit. <meta charset="utf-8">The two glycosides stevioside and rubusoside are very similar in their chemical structure and therefore have a nearly identical sweetening effect. The chemical molecule 'rubusoside' in its pure form is approximately 200 times sweeter than commercially refined sugar from sugar beets in its pure form. Even fresh leaves have an enormous sweetness. If you chew on a leaf, it tastes quite neutrally "green" at first, before a distinctive, broad, dull sweetness takes over the taste buds. Sweetleaf<meta charset="utf-8"> ® has no odd aftertaste, which stevia is often criticized for.<meta charset="utf-8"> <meta charset="utf-8">To use Sweetleaf®: tear or cut the freshly harvested leaves into pieces and then blanch them in boiling water. In the process, the sweetening substances are released from the leaves and absorbed by the water. The amount of leaves used is purely a matter of taste. Some like it a little sweeter (more leaves); others don't like it quite so sweet (fewer leaves). You can also rub the leaves in your palms before blanching them, so the leaf structure breaks down and the sweeteners can more easily escape from the cells. The leaves can also be used as a sweetener in dried form, powdered or by boiling a syrup with them. Great for sweetening teas and pastries. <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta charset="utf-8"> Rubus chingii var. suavissimus is one of four species used in Guangxi, China to make the ethnomedicine tiancha (sweet tea). Culture: Sweetleaf® is a vigorous, deciduous shrub. The fast-growing shoots have enormous vigor with an upright growth habit and reach a final height of approximately 250 cm. Due to the strong growth force, the fresh shoots are very tolerant of pruning and grow back quickly. The fresh, green shoots are heavily armed with thorns, but this is not of major importance as only the leaves are of interest. The leaves have a striking, five-lobed shape. Best grown in well-drained soil in sunny to semi-shade.<meta charset="utf-8"> location. Generally tolerant of many different soils. Features: Year: Perennial Growing conditions: sun - partial shade Height: 1.5-2.5 m Growing zone: 1-4

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

Jiaogulan Plant 20-40 cm (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)

~~€22,95 EUR~~ €19,95 EUR

1st plant Jiaogulan: 2 years old - current height 20-40 cm Trivial Name: Jiaogulan, Gynnostemma,<meta charset="utf-8"> Sweet Tea Vine, Southern Ginseng, Miracle Plant, Amachazuru Scientific name: Gynostemma pentaphyllum Family: Cucurbitaceae Plant history & use: Jiaogulan, also known as the "herb of immortality," is one of the lesser-known traditional Chinese herbs. For centuries, it was used almost exclusively by the people of a mountainous region in southern China where the herb grows wild. <meta charset="utf-8">Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as we know it today originated in the center of the country,<meta charset="utf-8"> far from this region. For this reason, Jiaogulan is not included in the TCM standardized list of medicines and is therefore not used to the same extent as other Chinese medicinal herbs. <meta charset="utf-8">In the 1970s, China conducted a comprehensive census. It was discovered that residents of certain regions, mainly Guizhou province, were living longer than average - often more than 100 years. It turned out that the oldest residents had regularly drunk Jiaogulan tea throughout their lives. Partly from this incident comes the nickname "herb of immortality", but also from the numerous scientific studies that have been conducted on the mysterious herb. Modern recognition of Jiaogulan outside of China stems from research into sugar substitutes. When examining the sweetening agent in Jiaogulan, saponins were found that were identical to those found in <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/koreansk-ginseng-panax-ginseng" title="Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng)" style="color: #4e991d;" target="_blank" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">Korean Ginseng ( Panax ginseng )</a> . Further research discovered several additional saponins that were comparable or identical to those found in P. ginseng. The saponins in P. ginseng are called ginsenosides, while those found in Jiaogulan are called gypenosides. Compared to Korean Ginseng, Jiaogulan has the advantage of being much easier to grow and ready to harvest much earlier. <meta charset="utf-8">Today, Jiaogulan is well used in China and widely consumed by those interested in its reputed rejuvenating properties. The leaves taste sweet and are used to make tea. Can also be cooked - in a wok for example. The herb is used today in the treatment of diabetes and a number of other ailments. There is much to read about this herb for those interested. Culture: Jiaogulan has a wide range in nature: it stretches all the way from China to Korea and Japan, down to Southeast Asia and even to New Guinea. It is a plant that thrives in a variety of climates. It is a climber that can reach a height of 8 meters. You can either grow it against something it can wrap around, or let it creep along the ground in low-growing shrubs. Jiaogulan should be able to grow in the majority of Sweden's zones 1-2, it can handle temperatures down to -10°C. It prefers to grow in a loamy, well-drained but moisture-retaining soil (typical humus character) - potting soil works well. Place in a sunny location. Plant in a pot and overwinter in a greenhouse the first year to give the plant slightly milder conditions. You can also overwinter it in a storage room, basement, etc. if there is enough light. If the plant survives the first year with protected overwintering, you can try planting the plant out in the ground next spring to give it a try to overwinter without protection the coming winter. You can always set up windbreaks made of non-woven fabric and stakes around the plant and cover the base with straw to create milder conditions when growing directly in the open field. Alternatively, move the plant indoors during the winter and place it outside during the summer months. If your plant has grown properly after the summer, top it and make tea from the leaves to adapt it to its new indoor growing space. With this method, it is possible to grow Jiaogulan throughout Sweden. Well suited to growing as a ground cover in permissive climates. Features: Year: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: up to 8 meters Growing zone: 1-2

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

Unlike other varieties that only produce fruit during a 3-week period towards the end of summer, Mojo Berry® produces berries over a very long period, from May right through to September. The fruits are great for using in jam, cake or other dishes. Mojo Berry® is beautiful as a solitary tree in a pot on the terrace/patio<meta charset="utf-8"> or in a pot with co-planting together with other plants and is also nice as a hedge plant/border. General information about Mulberry: 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)" 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)" 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. <h4> Culture: </h4> 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. <h4> Features: </h4> Year: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: around 150 cm Growing zone: 1-2 outdoors, 1-5 with winter cover or in greenhouses

Five-leaved Akebia 80-100 cm (Akebia quinata)

From €31,95 EUR

1st plant Five-leaf Akebia: 2 years old - current height: 80-100 cm All plants are ready to bloom and set fruit. Common Name : Five-leaf Akebia, Chocolate Vine Scientific name : Akebia quinata Family : Lardizabalaceae Plant history & use : The Five-leaf Akebian originates from Japan, China and Korea where it is often found<meta charset="utf-8"> naturally growing<meta charset="utf-8"> on mountain slopes and on hills against hedges, tree trunks, along forest edges and watercourses. The highlight of this akebia is its oblong, edible, purple fruits that form inside pods that open up on their own when ripe. The seeds are surrounded by a juicy flesh that is sweet to the taste - it is said to be reminiscent of the flesh of dragon fruit. In Japan, it is eaten mainly as a seasonal delicacy. The fruit is sometimes eaten with lemon to enhance the taste. The shell of the pod is used in cooking, where it is filled with minced meat and then fried. The seeds are bitter and should not be chewed, however, they can be swallowed whole or simply spit out to avoid the bitter taste. The fruits can be made into jam, jelly, juice or smoothies and even ice cream can be made from the pulp. Young shoots can be added to salads. Leaves can be dried and made into tea. Often used as a ground cover plant: along walls, fences, fields and other less attractive surfaces. Akebian is also often used as a soil binder on slopes to prevent erosion. The Five-Leaf Akebian gives the garden an oriental look. <meta charset="utf-8">The flowers are said to have scents ranging from vanilla to honey and chocolate. The flowers are visually clearly divided into male and female flowers. <a title="Bioconverted Fruit Extract of Akebia Quinata Exhibits Anti-Obesity Effects in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Rats" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9656223/" target="_blank">Studies</a> have shown that consuming Akebia quinata reduces fat accumulation in the body and lowers blood cholesterol levels, and thus may be effective in combating obesity. This is a relatively new finding (2022) and theories are being floated that this fruit could become more well-known in the near future. The same study has also shown that A. quinata has a cleansing effect on the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system. Regular consumption could have led to improved health. A. quinata is diuretic. <meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8"> When consumed, the plant is also said to be an inhibitor against bacterial and fungal infections. The roots act as a fever reducer. In traditional Chinese medicine, akebian is used to treat urinary tract infections, insufficient lactation, and rheumatoid arthritis. The vines are also used to weave baskets. An oil is extracted from the seeds and is used in traditional Chinese soap making. Cultivation : Grows best in a sunny location, although tolerant of shady locations. Prefers slightly sandier soils with good drainage and good moisture retention properties. A humus-rich, slightly sandy soil is best - such as potting soil mixed with sand. Can grow in soils with both higher and lower pH values. Likes regular watering. However, it is relatively resistant to drought. Also very cold-resistant - can withstand lower temperatures between -20ºC and<meta charset="utf-8"> -30ºC. Generally fast growing. Can be pruned in early spring if necessary. Akebia are not self-pollinating, which means that all plants in the genus need another individual that is genetically different to be successfully pollinated and produce fruit - it doesn't have to be a different species/variety, just a different individual. Features : Year: Perennial Growing position: sun / partial shade Height: up to 4 m Growing zone: 1-3

Black Goji Berry / Wolfberry Plant 15-30 cm (Lycium ruthenicum)

1 plant Black Goji: 1 year old - current height 15-30 cm Raised in Swedish climate Common names: Black Goji, Russian Buckthorn Scientific name: Lycium ruthenicum Murr. Family: Solanaceae Plant history & use: Black Goji is, like the relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-chinense" title="Goji berries (Lycium barbarum)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-chinense" target="_blank">Goji ( Lycium barbarum )</a> , a rich source of proteins and vitamins. The black goji berry is particularly rich in anthocyanins, with a higher content than blueberries. The shrub originates in the areas around the Tibetan Plateau and southern Russia. It is a plant that has not yet received much attention in the West, but it has long been used by the indigenous people in its natural plant environment. Surprisingly, the indigenous people of small North Indian communities use the berry to make an ointment to prevent blindness in camels. This is possible thanks to the berry's high content of lutein . The berry gets its deep blue-purple color from the anthocyanins, a substance found in unusually high concentrations in the black goji berry. Anthocyanins are the same substances that color blueberries blue and contribute to many of their beneficial properties. Ripe berries can be eaten raw, dried or cooked. The most common way to consume black goji berries is to make a so-called infusion on them. This is best done when they are completely fresh, but it can also be done with dried berries. The Black Goji Berry gives off different colors depending on the type of water used. In the case of mineral-rich water <meta charset="utf-8">(basic: pH >7) the color becomes deep dark blue and in acidic water <meta charset="utf-8">(pH <7) the color becomes intense purple. Culture: Black Goji originally grows in very extreme climates where it is exposed to drought, extreme cold, high salinity and nutrient poor soils. These factors have made the black goji berry a very hardy plant. It can grow in temperatures down to -20 ºC. It is an easy-to-grow shrub that often produces rich harvests. It likes to grow in well-drained soils (often sandy soils) and establishes a strong root system, which makes it a good soil binder, e.g. at beach edges. It can also naturally form a tight wall that protects against the worst wind. Thrives in bright conditions. The bush grows up to 2 m and can be grown outdoors in open ground in Sweden. To protect your Black Goji bush from the harshest Swedish conditions, in late summer you can cover the base of the plant with straw, leaves or the like. - this protects the plant from the most severe cold and extends the growing season. The numerous berries range from green to black/bluish purple in color. It is only then that they are ready for harvest. This takes place summer-autumn.
