These trees come from a hardy mother plant and are seedlings from the seeds we also sell. These trees overwinter outdoors already the first year planted in the ground with winter covering (fleece in this case). The mother plant is of the Sunflower variety. The trees are easily self-fertile but 2 trees are recommended for good pollination. Common name: Asimina, Paw paw Scientific name: Asimina triloba Family: Annonaceae Growth history & use: Asimina is one of the most tropical-like fruits that can grow in our northern climate. The taste resembles a mix of banana and mango, and the texture is like papaya or a perfectly ripe avocado. The fruit looks like a small green mango with golden yellow flesh. The fruits are usually eaten as they are but can also be used to enrich refreshing drinks, baked goods, and cocktails with their mildly tropical flavor. The fruits are rich in vitamins such as riboflavins and B-6. They can also be used to make ice cream. Cultivation: Asimina originates from and grows naturally in North America, often as undergrowth beneath larger trees. They thrive in humus-rich, nutrient-rich, and somewhat moist well-drained soils. Asimina prefers sheltered locations and therefore grows well under larger trees and also likes to stand close together (about 1 m apart) when fully grown. This protects against wind and direct sunlight and facilitates pollination. An east-facing location is suitable for planting Asimina. Plants growing in exposed locations fare significantly worse than those in sheltered spots. Water generously or plant in a place with good water availability. Asimina puts a lot of energy into developing a strong root system at the start – the root can often be thicker than the stem during the first months. When pot-growing, a tip is to plant in deep pots directly; this allows for more effective root development and avoids disturbing the plant before it has grown strong. In open ground, Asimina grows into dense thickets through spreading by root shoots. Characteristics: Lifespan: Perennial Growing position: partial shade Height: 2-12 m Growing zone: 1-5 Harvest maturity: years 4-8

Especially the leaves of the white mulberry tree are favored by silkworms. The white mulberry originates from West Asia. The berries of the white mulberry tree vary in color – from white, to pink, to red, to almost 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)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Morus nigra</a>. The berries are rich in antioxidants and are believed, like tea made from mulberry leaves, to help balance blood sugar levels. Thanks to their 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)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">goji berry</a>. Dried berries have a creamy caramel-like flavor. Additionally, mulberries contain the substance MFE which stabilizes blood sugar levels and thereby reduces the body's craving for sweets. Therefore, mulberries are a common substitute for those who want to overcome sugar cravings. You can also make juice and jam from the berries. From the leaves, one can brew a healthy tea that has historically been drunk in China and has recently begun to regain popularity in Asia. Cultivation: 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)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Morus nigra</a> and withstands temperatures down to -30°C. It can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. It is hardy in windy coastal climates but optimal growth is given in warm, sheltered locations. Well suited as a trellis tree since the branches are easily bendable. Mulberry trees also fit well in forest gardens as they are a popular host plant among many organisms and provide recurring harvests without much care while protecting plants in the lower layers. Mulberries are self-fertile, which means only one tree is needed to bear fruit. Prune in winter when the tree is dormant to avoid excessive "bleeding," a common trait in mulberry plants. The berries ripen continuously from mid-summer to early autumn. When it is time to harvest, a tip is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between your fingers. Characteristics: Perennial: Perennial Growing site: sun Height: 5-10 m Germination time: 1-12 months Growing zone: 1-4

The tree is characterized by its fluffy, light pink flowers that resemble a silky feather crown. Its beauty has made it a cherished tree worldwide. 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. Flowers are also boiled for consumption. A historically well-known kitchen plant in its native regions. <meta charset="utf-8">The plant’s bark, leaves, flowers & flower buds are used to make tea and extracts with reputed health benefits. Flowers are harvested when opening and the bark is harvested in spring or late summer to be dried for later use. Tea made from the flowers is said to have a delicate, sweet taste and to relieve stress, tension, and even mild depression. This is likely one of the reasons the tree is also called "The Tree of Happiness." Please judge for yourself if this holds true for you. It is also possible to make jelly from freshly opened flowers. In traditional Asian medicine, it has been used among other things to calm nerves and as a mild sedative for sleep difficulties. Flowers have been observed to be effective in attracting bees & butterflies (and hummingbirds in America). <meta charset="utf-8"> This tree, like other plants in the Pea family (Fabaceae), has a partnership with soil bacteria that bind nitrogen from the air and fix it to the tree’s roots. In this way, the surrounding soil is enriched with nitrogen that would otherwise be inaccessible to plants – therefore we call plants with such a partnership Soil Improvers. The wood is also used to make furniture. Cultivation: The silk tree can be grown outdoors in the more favorable places in Sweden (roughly from Uppsala and southwards according to plant hardiness zones). <meta charset="utf-8">However, the tree is hardy down to -25<meta charset="utf-8">°C, so the geographical location is often ambiguous and success largely depends on the actual growing site. It thrives best in warm and sunny places – a good spot is sheltered from wind against a south-facing wall. Young shoots can be sensitive to cold and frost. Please protect the tree during winter if grown outdoors, for example with straw around the base and wind protection in the form of fleece attached to stakes around the tree if it stands in an exposed location. This is reasonably only necessary 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 overwintered in a sheltered place. <meta charset="utf-8">The silk tree is a fast-growing tree with a relatively low water need that can stand in direct sun. The tree prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering. More precisely: water deeply but infrequently to encourage faster growth. Fairly drought-tolerant. Tolerant to pruning. Can be shaped to grow close to a house wall, for example. Pruning is done in late winter or early spring. Characteristics: Longevity: Perennial Light: sun Height: 5-7 m Hardiness zone: 1-4

Chinese Vegetable Tree 15-30 cm (Toona sinensis)

Chinese Vegetable Tree: current height 15-30 cm Common names: <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 Growth history & use: <meta charset="utf-8">The Chinese Vegetable Tree, or Chinese Toon, is a hardy tree with striking 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 uses. Young shoots and leaves are widely used in Chinese cooking. The leaves have a crisp texture and the taste is described as savory, nutty, and onion-like. Another source describes the flavor of the cooked leaves as a complex meal in itself—more specifically: like roasted beans with hints of onion and pepper. "Even those who do not like vegetables might enjoy Toon." The leaves are rich in vitamin A and contain about 6% protein, 1% fat, 6.6% carbohydrates, and 1.5% various minerals. The leaves are most often prepared as part of stir-fries or by steaming/boiling to eat as a side vegetable. They can also be 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 to be used as seasoning. The most common uses <meta charset="utf-8">in the few Swedish homes where the plant is grown seem to be making broth from leaves and shoots, making pesto, or adding pickled leaves to a hamburger. A tea-like drink is made from leaves and shoots, sometimes also from the fruit. Leaves and shoots are heated briefly in a pan and then allowed to dry slowly. Roots, bark, and fruit have been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. The wood is highly valued and resembles mahogany with its dark red color—it is used to make furniture, window frames, and more. The wood also has a delicate scent and is burned in temples as incense. Sometimes called synonymously the Cigar Box Tree because the wood was historically used to make cigar boxes. However, it was mostly the relative T. odorata that was used for this purpose. It produces beautiful white/pink flowers in large clusters hanging from the branches in August. The flowers are sweet-scented and skilled 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 sends out root shoots and thus forms a grove. Standing under a large tree, the foliage almost looks palm-like against the sky. A striking plant in many ways. Cultivation: Originates from East Asia—from North Korea, through China all the way down to western Indonesia. Easy to care for and fast-growing. Place in a sunny spot. Hardy outdoors in zones 1-2. Has been reported to withstand temperatures down to -25ºC. <meta charset="utf-8">Thrives best in moist, fertile, and well-drained soils. Tolerates most soil pH levels. Does not thrive in wet ground. Can be kept low-growing and topped for continuous growth of young shoots and leaves. Has good shade tolerance, but the result is slender, elongated trees that reach upwards toward the light. Placed in sun or shade, the tree will eventually reach about 15-20 meters in height. Chinese Toon can live over 100 years. Also top as a larger tree for abundant growth of young leaves and shoots. Sends out root shoots at adult age. Characteristics: Longevity: Perennial Growth position: sun Height: 15-20 meters Hardiness zone: 1-2

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 Western Asia than its relative Morus alba, which may explain why Morus nigra has slightly less 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 color. But the berries were also grown for fresh consumption. Unlike the white mulberry tree’s fruits, which can vary in color, the black mulberry tree’s fruits are always black when ripe. The black mulberry is also more tart. The berries are rich in antioxidants and are believed, like tea made from mulberry leaves, to help balance blood sugar levels.

In spring, it produces numerous bright white flowers that brighten shady parts of the garden. At the end of summer, the tree bears peculiar pink-red edible fruits about 2-3 cm in diameter. These fruits can be made into jam or baked into pies. In Asia, juice is made from them and they are fermented into wine. The bark on thicker trunks flakes off and creates a beautiful pattern of varied colors. The leaves of the tree also turn a beautiful bright red/orange color in autumn. Cultivation: Flowering dogwood is a deciduous tree that thrives well in most parts of Sweden. The tree is relatively long-lived (50-150 years) and hardy against cold climates. Unlike many plants, flowering dogwood thrives well in shady locations. It also prefers to be sheltered from wind. When the tree stands in direct sun, it tends to produce more fruits, but of smaller size. An optimal growing place for flowering dogwood is under one or more taller deciduous trees – which provide shade and add organic material to the soil – surrounded by additional vegetation in various layers. This contributes to the moist, wind-sheltered, and partly shaded environment in which flowering dogwood grows best. The tree’s bright flowering can also brighten an otherwise shady "grove". Flowering dogwood has low maintenance needs and provides large recurring harvests every year. For the above reasons, flowering dogwood is an excellent tree to have in a food forest. If you do not have such a place on your growing area, a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade also works well. Characteristics: Longevity: Perennial Growing position: shade/partial shade Height: 2-3 m Growing zone: 1-3

Pecan trees in various sizes: <ul> <li>Height: 30-50 cm</li> <li>Height: 100-120 cm</li> </ul> 2 trees are recommended for good pollination. Photo taken in January, which is why no leaves are visible on the tree. Common names: Pecan tree, Pecan hickory, Pecan nut, Pecan Scientific name: Carya illinoinensis Family: Juglandaceae Growth history & use: The pecan nut, with an antioxidant content higher than any other so-called "tree nut," is one of the most popular nuts on the market. The pecan tree originates from North America, where the USA and Mexico together account for over 90% of the global pecan nut production. The nut resembles the continent’s walnut but is more elongated, has a smooth shell, and a completely different aroma. The pecan nut contains abundant minerals such as zinc, magnesium, calcium, and iron as well as Omega-6 fats. The nuts contain monounsaturated fats, and their well-known benefits for good health are many. Pecan nuts can, for example, be used to make a crispy topping for oven-roasted fillets, fill baked peppers, brighten up a salad, sprinkle on ice cream, or simply be eaten as they are. A handful of nuts per day is the recommended daily intake. <h4> Cultivation: </h4> The pecan tree grows in its natural environment along river and stream banks where the tree can stretch its roots deep into the soil. In its natural growing environment, pecan trees often eventually become the tallest and largest trees in the area. They can reach an age of up to 300 years. Thrives best in sunny locations in light sandy soil with good drainage. Plant in a deep pot during the first years or directly into the ground. Plenty of space for the roots to stretch deeply is important to create a strong and healthy tree. Mix compost or stable manure into the top layer of soil. Cover the base of the trunk with some type of mulch, such as wood chips or grass clippings, to prevent the growth of weeds and thus competition for the newly established tree. Plant trees at least 15 meters apart to allow room for their natural large size. Water generously during the first years of establishment. The tree is ready for harvest after 3-8 years. Nuts ripen in late autumn. Harvest when the tree has naturally dropped the nuts to the ground. <h4> Characteristics: </h4> Longevity: Perennial Growing site: sun Height: 20-40 m Growing zone: 1-6 Harvest maturity: 3-8 years

American Judas Tree 40-60 cm (Cercis canadensis)

~~295 SEK~~ 207 SEK

American Judas Tree: current height 40-60 cm Common names: American Judas Tree, Canadian Judas Tree, Eastern Redbud Scientific name: Cercis canadensis Family: Fabaceae <h4>History & use:</h4> This variety of Judas Tree originates from North America. When the American Judas Tree was discovered by the Spaniards in the latter half of the 1500s, it was compared to the Judas Tree from the Mediterranean region (Cercis siliquastrum) that they already knew – this 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 somewhat smaller in mature size, as well as being more frost-hardy – compare C. canadensis USDA zones 4-9 with C. siliquastrum USDA zones 6-10. C. canadensis is also said to be better suited for moist environments/soils than many other species in the genus. It blooms in March-April with bright pink flowers on bare branches, also on the main trunk of the tree, which is often very striking. The flowering is said to be strongly influenced by the severity of the preceding winter. After harsh winters, the Judas Tree blooms more abundantly; 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. An exciting addition to a salad. Unopened flower buds can also be pickled or preserved similarly to <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/kapris-capparis-spinosa" title="Capers (Capparis spinosa)" target="_blank">Capers</a>. Native American tribes in North America covered the mature seed pods with glowing embers to then peel and eat the roasted seeds. I assume a modern way to do this is simply to separate the seeds from the seed pod and roast the seeds over a stove or in an oven to prepare them for eating. Some sources report soaking and boiling the seeds like lentils, which are also a legume. The fruits are rich in protein like other plants in the pea family (Fabaceae). Dry seeds contain about 25% protein, 8% fat, and 3% various minerals. For an unprocessed (and wild in North America) source of nutrition, this is quite good; nutritionally it competes with both pecans and walnuts. The seed pods remain on the tree for a long time – they are available from late summer all the way into winter – and are considered acceptable for consumption during this period. However, the seed pods can sometimes be found still hanging on until the following spring; whether they are suitable for consumption then is not stated. For the reasons mentioned above, the seeds from C. canadensis are considered a useful source of survival food. The young, green, and tender seed pods can be eaten like sugar peas – steam them, boil them, or stir-fry them. They go well in a stir-fry with, for example, onion, garlic, bell pepper, and leafy greens. The leaves can also be eaten – younger, tender leaves are recommended. Tea made from the inner bark has been used to reduce fever and more. Cold infusions of roots and inner bark have been used in old folk medicine to treat, among other things, whooping cough. It is diligent in attracting pollinators with its abundant flowering. Considered a good tree for honeybees. The tree also has many other uses within North American indigenous culture. A story about Judas and how he gave the tree its international name is easy to find for the interested reader. <h4>Cultivation:</h4> Although the American Judas Tree is considered better suited for moist soils than other species in the genus, it prefers not to grow in overly wet soils with high clay content. It thrives best in somewhat sandy clay soils. Prefers sunny locations but also does well in light shade. The American Judas Tree is a fast-growing tree that often lives up to 80 years. 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 through its roots from air pores in the soil. <h4>Characteristics:</h4> Longevity: Perennial Growing conditions: sun / light shade Height: 6-10 m Hardiness zone: 1-4

Dwarf Mulberry Mojo Berry® 'Matsunaga' 40-50 cm (Morus rotundiloba)

Dwarf Mulberry Mojo Berry® 'Matsunaga': current height 40-50 cm Common name: Dwarf Mulberry, Mojo Berry® Scientific name: Morus rotundiloba Family: Moraceae <h4>Plant history & use:</h4> Mojo Berry® is a short-statured mulberry variety that bears fruit on both old and new branches, which means you can pick mulberries during the first year, unlike the usual 5 or 6 years it takes for most other mulberries. This dwarf, compact variety only reaches a height of about 1.5 m (compared to common mulberries that can grow up to 6-8 m tall), making it suitable for all gardens. Unlike other varieties that only produce fruit during a 3-week period at the end of summer, Mojo Berry® produces berries over a very long period, from May all the way to September. The fruits are excellent for making jam, cake, or other dishes. Mojo Berry® is beautiful as a solitary tree in a pot on the terrace/patio or in a pot with companion planting alongside other plants and is also nice as a hedge plant/boundary. General about Mulberries: Mulberry trees are among our oldest cultivated plants.

Therefore, mulberries are a common substitute for those who want to overcome sweet cravings. Because of the berries’ unusually high nutritional content, mulberries, like <a rel="noopener noreferrer" title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" target="_blank">goji berry</a>, are considered a so-called "superfood". Besides mulberry wine, one can also make juice and jam from the berries. From the leaves, one can brew healthy tea which has historically been drunk in China and has recently started to become popular again in Asia. <h4>Cultivation:</h4> Mojo Berry® is hardy down to -10°C = outdoor cultivation zones 1-2. If the tree is winter-covered with sheep’s wool or similar, it can survive outdoors up to zone 5. Alternatively, grow in a pot and place in a greenhouse/storage over winter. The tree can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. It is hardy in windy coastal climates but optimal growth is given in warm, sheltered locations. Suitable as a trellis tree since the branches are easily bendable. Mulberry trees also fit well in forest gardens as they are a popular host plant among many organisms and provide recurring harvests without much care while protecting plants in the lower layers. Mulberries are self-fertile, meaning only one tree is needed to bear fruit. Prune in winter when the tree is dormant to avoid excessive "bleeding," which is otherwise a common trait among mulberry plants. The berries ripen continuously from May to September. The berries are harvested when the color changes from red to coal black. A tip is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between the fingers. <h4>Characteristics:</h4> Longevity: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: around 150 cm Growing zone: 1-2 outdoors, 1-5 with winter cover or in greenhouse

Turkish Tree Hazel: current height 50-70 cm Common names: Turkish Hazel, Tree Hazel, Turk Hazel, Turkish Tree Hazel Scientific name: Corylus colurna Family: Betulaceae Growth history & use: Turkish Hazel is a tree-shaped hazel with a thick trunk and pyramid-shaped crown. It originates from Southeastern Europe and Southwestern Asia - the tree grows wild in the region from the Balkans, to northern Turkey, to northern Iran. It is a fast-growing tree that is hardy in exposed environments, such as urban areas. The Turk Hazel grows about 20-30 meters tall and often has a straight, continuous trunk with more or less horizontal branches. Turkish Hazel produces edible hazelnuts that sit inside fuzzy balls. The nuts are smaller than those of the more common hazel - Corylus avellana - but they have a thicker shell, which makes the Turk Hazel nut more resistant to hungry pests of various kinds - for example nut weevils, birds & squirrels - which otherwise are a big problem when growing common hazel, C. avellana. Turkish Hazel can live for over 200 years. Cultivation: Turkish Hazel is a fast-growing tree that is hardy against drought, wind, heat, and cold once established. The optimal environment is a place with full sun and moist, well-drained soil. However, it also grows well in heavy clay soils and sandy soils. The tree withstands winter temperatures down to -25ºC. Nuts ripen in October-November. Characteristics: Lifespan: Perennial Growing site: sun Height: 20-30 m Growing zone: 1-5

Cornelian cherry dogwood 40-80 cm (Cornus mas)

~~325 SEK~~ 228 SEK

Cornelian cherry dogwood: current height 40-80 cm Common name: Cornelian cherry dogwood, Cornelian Cherry Scientific name: Cornus mas Family: Cornaceae Plant history & use: We like to refer to the Cornelian cherry dogwood as Europe’s (yellow-flowered) counterpart to Sakura – the Japanese cherry trees, which also bloom on bare branches. Like the cherry trees, the Cornelian cherry dogwood also produces interesting, edible berries that can be used in many ways. The natural range of the Cornelian cherry dogwood stretches from central and southeastern Europe to western Asia around the Caucasus, but it has also been successfully planted in, among other places, Sweden and North America. The Cornelian cherry dogwood is usually valued for its ornamental qualities early in the year. With its abundant flowering on bare branches in March-April, it is a refreshing sight before much else has sprouted. Because of this, it also serves as a valuable early source of nectar and pollen for pollinators. The flowers are small and yellow and grow in clusters. From the flowers come then olive-shaped red berries that are edible. These ripen late in summer or early autumn. The fruit is hard, sour, and astringent before it is ripe but softens as it becomes sweeter. Another sign that the fruit is ripe is to look at the ground – when the fruit starts to fall, it has sweetened. For easier harvest, you can shake the branches and then pick up the berries that fall, since not all ripen at the same time. The berries, described as tasting like cranberry/sour cherry/plum, can be used to make jelly, jam, juice, fruit wine, and as cocktail berries. The stones can be roasted, ground, and then used as a coffee substitute, and unripe fruits can be pickled and eaten as a substitute for olives. The Cornelian cherry dogwood has long been used in Mediterranean countries and western Asia precisely for its fruits and the medicinal properties they are believed to have. The berries contain a high amount of vitamin C and the antioxidant anthocyanin, which gives the fruit its color. The Cornelian cherry dogwood is self-pollinating but the harvest can be more abundant if several individuals are planted together. The hard wood of the Cornelian cherry dogwood was highly valued by the ancient Romans and Greeks for making, among other things, spears and bows. Cultivation: The Cornelian cherry dogwood thrives best in full sun to partial shade but also does well in shadier places, though it will produce fewer berries there. If allowed to grow freely, it becomes a broad and bushy shrub. It is also excellent to train it into a small tree, and the crown can become as wide as the tree is tall. When growing freely, it becomes multi-stemmed, but it is equally possible to keep and train one of the stems. The Cornelian cherry dogwood can also be used as a hedge plant as it responds well to pruning. It has an upright growth habit, but if the branches grow long, their tips may start to point downward. The Cornelian cherry dogwood prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and is not picky about pH, although calcareous soil is especially favorable. It is warmth-loving and tolerates drought once established. The stem is gray-brown and the bark on somewhat older individuals flakes nicely. The Cornelian cherry dogwood is deciduous and its autumn color is a beautiful brownish-yellow to reddish-brown. Characteristics: Longevity: Perennial Growing position: sun/partial shade Height: 3-6 m Hardiness zone: 1-4

Lemon thorn trees in various sizes: <ul> <li>Height: 20-30 cm</li> <li>Height: 80-100 cm</li> </ul> Lemon thorn is self-fertile = only 1 tree is needed for fruit setting Common names: Lemon thorn, Bitter Orange, Hardy orange, Trifoliate 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 truly withstands our climate. An unusual deciduous citrus variety with three-lobed leaves and slightly downy fruits. Originates from northern China. <meta charset="utf-8"> Easiest to use daily by pressing juice from the fruits – and possibly mixing with water to make a refreshing drink that is said to be very tasty. Tip: grate the peel of the fruits and boil in water together with <a title="'Sweetleaf®' / Sweetleaf 30-50 cm (Rubus chingii var. suavissimus)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/en/collections/plantor/products/sweetleaf%C2%AE-hallon-30-50-cm-rubus-chingii-var-suavissimus">'Sweetleaf'</a> leaves to remove the bitterness but still keep the rich flavor of the peel, and add a little sweetness to the drink. You can also cook marmalade and jelly from the fruits – their rich pectin content makes this a suitable use. The taste is said to be somewhere between a lime and a grapefruit. Freshly harvested fruits do not contain much juice, but if left about 2 weeks after harvest, the juice content rises to about 20%. Fruits are rich in vitamin C. Fruit peel is used as flavoring, dried or fresh. The whole fruit can also be sliced and dried to use as seasoning. Younger leaves are edible. Thorns and bark have historically been used to relieve toothache (Duke. J. A. and Ayensu. E. S.). Bark from the trunk is used against stomach ailments such as bloating, etc. A tree/shrub can produce up to 14 kg of fruit. The whole plant, but especially the flowers, are very aromatic. Blooms fragrantly in April-May. Beautiful foliage in autumn. Strikingly beautiful in winter with its yellow fruits on bare branches. Used as rootstock for other citrus species – adds an extra 3ºC in hardiness to the grafted plant (Natural Food Institute). Lemon thorn hybridizes readily with other citrus species, making it a good breeding parent if you intend to develop new hardy citrus varieties. Citrange is, for example, a type of hardy orange developed by crossing Lemon thorn with a "regular" orange. Besides contributing hardiness in breeding programs, Lemon thorn can be used to transfer, among other things: good disease resistance, tolerance to poorer soils, and low-growing traits. The sharp thorns and bushy growth habit make it very suitable as a boundary hedge. <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <h4> Cultivation: </h4> Easy to grow. Tolerant of many soil types. Lemon thorn thrives best in well-drained, nutrient-rich, moist, and slightly sandy soil. Place in sun to partial shade. Lemon thorn is a citrus plant that grows and produces well even as an understory plant shaded part of the day. Hardy down to -15ºC. Plants have been reported to withstand short periods of temperatures down to -30ºC without damage. Lemon thorn often has a lifespan of about 25 years. Relatively short-lived, with the advantage that it starts producing fruit earlier than other varieties and produces abundant fertile seeds to raise the next generation of plants in time. Begins to bear fruit during its 3rd to 5th year. <h4>Characteristics:</h4> Perennial Light: sun/partial shade Height: 2-5 meters Growing zone: 1-2, up to zone 5 in greenhouse </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>

True Chestnut: <ul> <li>Height: 40-50 cm</li> <li>Height: 110-150 cm</li> <li>Height: 150-180 cm [PICKUP ONLY]</li> </ul> The True Chestnut is self-pollinating - only one tree is needed for fruiting. Common names: True Chestnut, Edible Chestnut, Food Chestnut Scientific name: Castanea sativa Family: Fagaceae Growth history & use: The True Chestnut has been part of Europe’s history for several thousand years. From Roman times, it began to spread to the northern parts of Europe - often cultivated by monks in monastery gardens. It is the chestnut-brown shiny nuts that are eaten. The nuts are nutritious and have historically even competed with today’s most common grains. Back then, a flour ground from the chestnuts was used extensively - possibly thanks to the nuts’ rich starch content, something unusual among nuts. A more modern widespread way to enjoy the nuts is to roast them together with butter and salt, common both around the Mediterranean region and in England (with or without butter). Roasted nuts have a taste reminiscent of sweet potato. The tree has a beautiful and majestic growth form similar to the oak. However, the true chestnut grows faster than the oak. In its natural environment, down in southern Europe, the trees can live for over 2000 years. <h4> Cultivation: </h4> Thrives best in a warm and sheltered spot in full sun. Let it grow in well-drained, humus-rich soil. Feel free to mix in grass clippings, compost, or stable manure in the topsoil. Prefers slightly acidic soil - optimal pH value is between 4.5-6. Does not do well in particularly wet soils. Water generously during the first years of establishment. The tree usually bears fruit after 3-5 years. The nuts are typically ready to harvest around September-October. <h4> Characteristics: </h4> Longevity: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: 20-35 m Hardiness zone: 1-2 Harvest maturity: 3-5 years

Practical tamarisk in various sizes 80-110 cm (Tamarix tetrandra)

~~275 SEK~~ From 193 SEK

1st tree Tamarisk - current height: <ul> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Height: 80-100 cm, Pot: C2</li> <li data-mce-fragment="1">Height: 90-110 cm, Pot: C4</li> </ul> Common name: Tamarisk, Salt Cedar Scientific name: Tamarix tetrandra Family: Tamaricaceae Plant history & use: The tamarisk is a striking tree with long flexible branches filled with plumes of pale pink flowers on bare twigs in late spring. The flowers then turn into small olive-green, scale-like leaves. The tamarisk is known for its ability to absorb and concentrate salts in its plant parts. This is useful where there is an outlet for greywater. Greywater is the water that comes out when we purify used water from our kitchens and bathrooms - for example dishwashers, washing machines, showers, etc. When this water is purified, various salts often remain and follow out in the drainage. It is in these outlets that plants like the tamarisk are planted, which appears to be one of the most effective plants at absorbing salt from the soil it grows in. The inability to absorb excess salts in the soil can cause problems for surrounding plants, as it affects their natural water uptake ability through osmosis. <meta charset="utf-8">You can also grow the tamarisk as a shrub. If you do not shape it as a tree by pruning, it usually attains the structure of a shrub on its own. Well suited to grow in mixed hedges as it creates a striking impression with its bright, pale pink shades that lift the whole hedge. The branches are used for weaving baskets. Active in attracting pollinators. Cultivation: Thrives best in open, sunny locations in well-drained soil. Preferably humus-rich and lightly sandy. Tolerant of most soils. Dislikes shallow and lime-rich soils. <meta charset="utf-8">Resistant in coastal climates. Blooms on bare twigs in late spring - the flowers are then replaced by small olive-green leaves. Characteristics: Lifespan: Perennial Growing position: sun Height: 2-4 m Hardiness zone: 1-3

Mulberry 'Full Seasons' 70-120 cm (White Mulberry)

345 SEK

Mulberry 'Full Seasons': current height 70-120 cm The plants bore fruit in June and are now setting berries for a second round (written 24/9-24) Common names: Mulberry, White Mulberry Scientific name: Morus alba Family: Moraceae Plant history & use: 'Full Seasons' is a variety that produces abundant large, almost swollen, juicy fruits. The berries are harvested when they turn black. Somewhat shorter than wild types: grows to about 4-5 meters. Same good hardiness. General info about mulberries: Mulberry trees are among 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)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Morus alba</a>, originates from West Asia – however, the black mulberry tree came to Europe a few hundred years before the white one. 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. 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. But the berries were also grown for fresh consumption. Unlike the white mulberry tree’s fruits, which can vary in color, the black mulberry tree’s fruits are always black when ripe. The black mulberry is also more tart. The berries are rich in antioxidants and are believed, like tea made from mulberry leaves, to help balance blood sugar levels. This is thanks to the content of the substance MFE which stabilizes blood sugar levels and thereby reduces the body's craving for sweets. Therefore, mulberries are a common substitute for those who want to overcome sweet cravings.
