~~2.700 ISK~~ From 1.100 ISK

1st PLANT: 2 years old - current height: 20 cm Seed-sown Asimina plant with strong root system. The plant is sent safely and securely packed with shock-absorbing packaging. The plant is delivered without a pot. Note. that trees ordered during the winter months lack foliage. <meta charset="UTF-8">The trees are easily self-fertile but 2 trees are recommended for good pollination. Common names : Asimina, Paw paw Scientific name : Asimina triloba Family : Annonaceae Plant history & use : Asimina is one of the most tropical-like fruits that can grow in our Nordic climate. The taste is reminiscent of a mixture of banana and mango and the texture is similar to 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, pastries and cocktails with their mild tropical taste. The fruits are rich in vitamins such as riboflavins and B-6. You can also use the fruits to make ice cream. Cultivation : Asimina originates from and grows naturally in North America, often as undergrowth under larger trees. They thrive in humus-rich, nutrient-rich and slightly moist well-drained soils. Asimina thrives in sheltered locations and therefore likes to grow under larger trees and also like to stand close together (approx. 1 m apart) in full grown size. This protects against wind and direct sunlight and facilitates pollination. East facing is a suitable place to plant Asimina. Plants that grow in exposed locations do significantly worse than plants that grow in protected locations. Water abundantly or plant in a place with good water supply. Asiminan puts a lot of energy into developing a strong root system in the beginning - the root can often be thicker than the trunk in the first months. When growing in pots, a tip is to plant in deep pots directly, this gives the opportunity for more efficient root development and you avoid disturbing the plant before it has grown. In open ground, Asiminan grows into a dense thicket by spreading via root shoots. Characteristics: Age: Perennial Location: partial shade Height: 1-10 m USDA zone: 1-8 Harvest age: 3-7 years

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

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

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.

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

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

1st Turkish Tree Hazel: 3 years old - current height 80-100 cm Common names: Turkish Hazel, Tree Hazel, Turkish Tree Hazel Scientific name: Corylus colurna Family: Betulaceae Plant history & use: Turkish Hazel is a tree-shaped hazel with a thick trunk and pyramidal crown. Native to Southeast Europe and Southwest Asia - the tree is found growing 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, e.g. urban environments. The Turkish hazel grows about 20-30 meters high and often has a straight, continuous trunk with more or less horizontal branches. Turkish Hazel produces edible hazelnuts that sit inside fluffy balls. The nuts are smaller than those of the more common hazel - Corylus avellana - but they have a thicker shell, which makes the Turkish hazelnut more resistant to hungry pests of various kinds - e.g. <meta charset="utf-8"> weevils, birds & squirrels - which are otherwise a big problem when growing common hazel, C. avellana . Turkish Hazel can live for over 200 years. Culture: Turkish Hazel is a fast-growing tree that is resistant to drought, wind, heat and cold once established. However, the optimal environment is a place with full sun and a moist, well-drained soil. However, it also grows well in heavy clay soils and sandy soils. <meta charset="utf-8"> The tree can withstand winter temperatures down to -25ºC. Nuts ripen in October-November.

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

Common name: Dwarf Mulberry, Mojo Berry<meta charset="utf-8"> ® Scientific name: Morus rotundiloba Family: Moraceae <h4>Plant history & use:</h4> Mojo Berry® is a short-growing mulberry<meta charset="utf-8"> variety that bears fruit on both older and new branches, which means you can pick mulberries in the first year, unlike the usual 5 or 6 years that it takes most other mulberries. This dwarf, compact variety only reaches a height of around 1.5 m (compared to regular mulberries which can grow up to 6-8 m tall), making it suitable for any garden. 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

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.

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 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.

1 Yerba Mate plant of the variety 'GARDEN 2 CUP®' - current height 40-60 cm <meta charset="utf-8"> The picture is just an example, this batch of plants is taller and stronger. Common name: Mate,<meta charset="utf-8"> Yerba Mate, Paraguayte, Tereré Scientific name: Ilex paraguariensis Family: Aquifoliaceae Plant history & use: <meta charset="utf-8">The Yerba Mate plant originates from the subtropical regions of South America. It was originally consumed by the Guarani people for its "energizing and healing properties." The drink mate is a popular alternative to coffee as the plant's caffeinated leaves are dried and ground/crushed to brew the stimulating drink . The leaves also contain vitamin B6 and magnesium which, among other things, help reduce fatigue and balance sleep habits. Mate contains around 80mg of caffeine per cup, while traditional tea ( <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/tebuske-planta-camellia-sinensis" title="Tea bush Plant 30-50 cm (Camellia sinensis)" style="color: #4e991d;" target="_blank">Camellia sinensis</a> ) contains around 40mg for green tea, or 60mg for black tea; coffee contains 100-200+mg of caffeine per cup - this gives an idea of the invigorating effect of the different drinks. However, the other active ingredients of each drink, in addition to caffeine, also have an effect on the level of alertness or freshness, but caffeine is an easy way to compare the different drinks. Mate also contains theobromine, which is a well-known substance due to its occurrence in cocoa. The ground/crushed leaves are normally simmered in hot water. If the drink is cold brewed instead, it is called tereré. The cold drink tereré is consumed mostly in the warmer regions of South America. Often, various types of refreshing and medicinal herbs are added to the drink to be consumed in conjunction. In South American countries like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, mate is so common that it is more common than coffee - something that can be difficult for us Europeans to understand. Even in the USA, the drink is widely available to buy in stores. Outside America, mate has spread in popularity to the Levant (Syria & Lebanon etc.). The leaves are also rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and E; the minerals potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, selenium, phosphorus and zinc; and a range of flavonoids which help protect the body against oxidative stress. There are different ways to make mate. Some mate blends have been fermented, while blends made using other methods skip this step and carry out<meta charset="utf-8"> only a short drying before grinding the leaves - the latter variant often contains only leaves, is very finely ground and produces a neon green colored drink. Other mixtures contain both twigs and leaves - and some have also undergone a smoking process over fire. Culture: Yerba Mate thrives best in a regularly warm climate with a slightly higher humidity. The plant can withstand short-term temperatures down to -8ºC, however, it is<meta charset="utf-8"> probably nothing that allows outdoor winters even in the warmest parts of the country. However, you can overwinter the plant in cold spaces such as frost-free greenhouses, storage rooms or basements as long as it does not get below freezing for a long period. You can also overwinter Yerba Maten indoors to move outside during the warmer months. Plant your Mate plant in a pot with well-drained soil, place outdoors in full sun and wind-protected location from March/April (no freezing temperatures for extended periods) - if you have a greenhouse, it is an excellent place for Yerba Mate. Move for overwintering when freezing temperatures approach. Leaves begin<meta charset="utf-8"> Normally harvested in the spring from the plant's 4th year. Yerba Mate is an evergreen plant, so if you manage to get it to thrive, it will provide its surroundings with greenery all year round.
