The fruit contains binding substances which make it very suitable for stews and soups. It can also be eaten raw; for example, in Asian cuisine it is often served alongside the main dish with accompanying sauce.</p> <p>The leaves can, like spinach, be used raw in salads or tossed into a stir-fry. The leaves also have a mild binding effect.</p> <p>Roasted okra seeds can also be used as a caffeine-free alternative to coffee.</p> <p>In West Africa, where okra is widely cultivated, the flower buds and open flowers are also eaten.</p> <p>The average nutritional value of okra is higher than that of, among others, tomato, eggplant, and most cucurbits.</p> <p>Okra seeds contain about 20% protein and 20% oil which can be extracted from the seeds.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation:</strong></p> <p>Okra originates from South Asia/Africa and is naturally perennial. It thrives in warmth and is sensitive to frost. The optimal growth temperature is above 20 ºC, and temperatures below 10 ºC can be harmful to the plant.</p> <p>For these reasons, it grows best in Sweden in greenhouses or growing tunnels. It can be grown outdoors but the harvest may be somewhat smaller than under optimal conditions. To improve conditions for outdoor cultivation, in spring when the soil has warmed, the ground can be covered with plastic or other ground cover such as straw/bark to prevent heat loss and thereby extend the growing season into autumn.</p> <p>Okra is drought-tolerant but fruit formation benefits from continuous watering and nutrient supply.</p> <p>Prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil.</p> <p>Okra is self-pollinating, which means you only need one plant to get fruit.</p> <p>Yields harvest as early as 1-2 months after sowing.</p> <p>The fruits are picked at an early (immature) stage while they are green to avoid woody taste. A tip is to try breaking off the tip of the fruit – if it breaks, it is fresh; if it bends instead, it is too ripe and better suited for seed harvest.</p> <p><strong>Sowing:</strong></p> <p>Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before sowing.

<p>Olive tree - current height 100-120 cm</p> <p><strong>Common name:</strong> Olive tree<br><strong>Scientific name:</strong> <em>Olea europaea</em><br><strong>Family:</strong> Oleaceae</p> <h4>History & use</h4> <p>The olive tree has been cultivated for over 5000 years and is one of the world's most used useful and cultural plants. It is primarily the unripe, green or black, ripe olives that are harvested for pickling or pressing into oil. Untreated olives are very bitter but can be eaten after soaking or fermenting. The tree is grown in pots, greenhouses, or outdoors in the most favorable locations in Sweden with winter protection. The olive tree is both beautiful and productive. The leaves are gray-green and leathery, and the tree can yield harvests even in pots under the right conditions.</p> <p>Olive trees are also used for erosion control in exposed areas.</p> <h4>Cultivation</h4> <p><meta charset="utf-8">These specimens with thicker trunks have especially good wood maturity, and the supplier states that they withstand temperatures down to –18 °C for short periods, especially in sheltered locations with well-drained soil.</p> <p>Thrives in full sun, preferably in well-drained, lime-rich soil. Plant in a large pot or directly in the ground in the mildest parts of the country. During winter, the tree is advantageously protected with fleece, jute fabric, or bubble wrap around the pot and/or trunk – especially in exposed locations or when there is a risk of prolonged cold. Water regularly during the growing season but tolerates some drought.</p> <h4>Characteristics</h4> <p><strong>Perennial:</strong> Perennial<br><strong>Growing position:</strong> Sun<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5–12 meters<br><strong>Hardiness zone:</strong> 1–2 in sheltered locations, hardy down to –18 °C for short periods<br><strong>Harvest maturity:</strong> After 3–5 years<br><strong>Self-fertile:</strong> Yes, but more abundant harvest with cross-pollination</p>

You can also simply make a drink from them, like black goji berries.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Both orange, yellow, and black goji berries are still relatively rare in Sweden, so here is a chance to have something distinctive and wholesome in your cultivation!</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Orange Goji is a hardy shrub that withstands many degrees below zero and is therefore suitable for outdoor cultivation in Sweden, either in pots or in open ground. The shrub grows well in sandy, clay soils, and everything in between, as long as the soil is well-drained. It thrives in sunny locations and is relatively insensitive to drought, wind, and salts.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The shrub also has a strong root system that binds the soil well. Its tough qualities make it an effective plant in maritime coastal climates with much wind.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Orange Goji is a grateful plant that does not require much care.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The shrub grows 1-3 meters tall. Its growth habit makes it suitable to be tied to strings along a wall to grow as a wall cover. Whether it grows against a wall or not, give it something to climb on or grow against so the shrub grows faster.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Characteristics:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Lifespan: Perennial<br data-mce-fragment="1">Growing position: sun<br data-mce-fragment="1">Height: 1-3 m<br data-mce-fragment="1">Growing zone: 1-6</p>

However, it tolerates frost and temperatures as low as -7 degrees Celsius. If the tree is placed in a favorably sunny and wind-sheltered spot, it is theoretically possible to succeed with outdoor cultivation year-round in the most favorable parts of Sweden – including Skåne, Öland & Gotland. The indicated USDA zone for the tree is zone 8, which corresponds to the most favorable locations in Sweden’s zone 1.

It is a hardy Kiwi variety that can grow and produce good fruit outdoors in our climate. The fruits are small and hairless, and are eaten with the peel on. , unlike the hairy kiwifruit we are used to buying in stores.</p> <p>The fruits are sweet and flavorful and resemble the common kiwi in taste. The variety is very hardy in our Nordic climate and has a compact growth habit, making it suitable for covering a surface - for example a wall or trellis.</p> <p> The fruits ripen in September-October.</p> <p class="p1"> <span class="s1">The fruits are a rich source of vitamin C (up to 5 times more than blackcurrants, for example) and can be eaten straight from the plant without peeling. The fruits can also be used to make jam.</span></p> <p class="p1"> <span class="s1">In Korea, young leaves are used in a vegetable dish called namul.</span></p> <p> <strong>Culture:</strong></p> <p class="p1"> <span class="s1">These types of Minikiwi can withstand temperatures down to at least -25 <span class="s2">℃</span> .</span> They all have a winding growth habit and <meta charset="utf-8">can grow up to 3-4 meters high. Some type of climbing support is necessary, such as a trellis, wall or pergola. <span class="Apple-converted-space">If you want to grow in a forest garden, it works great to let Minikiwn grow against a tree trunk - try to make sure that there is a fairly good amount of light entering the plant.</span></p> <p class="p1"> <span class="Apple-converted-space">In May-July they bloom with small, fragrant white flowers which then turn into tasty, smooth small fruits in the female plants.<meta charset="utf-8"> The summer green leaves turn a beautiful yellow in the fall.</span></p> <p class="p1"> <span class="s1">The mini kiwi thrives best in a sunny, warm and sheltered location. The optimal growing location is in a greenhouse, against a wall or a trellis. However, it also does well outside the greenhouse and in shadier environments - but for best fruit production, the plant should at least be provided with good light and wind protection.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Plant Minikiwi in a nutrient-rich, well-drained and moisture-retaining soil. If you want to fertilize, it should be done with, for example, blueberry fertilizer, as Minikiwi thrives best in a slightly acidic pH. Natural fertilizer and compost also work well.</span></p> <p class="p1"> <span class="s1">An established female plant can produce large amounts</span> <span class="s1">of fruit per year, around 25kg per plant and in some cases more.</span></p> <p class="p1"><meta charset="utf-8"> It is advantageous to grow against a trellis to get good air circulation and more sunlight for the fruits.</p> <p class="p1"> Pruning:</p> <ul> <li> The first year of planting, it is a good idea to let the plant start to take shape in 1-3 main stems. Top your main stem(s) at the end of the season to make them stronger next year.</li> <li> The second year you top the main shoots that come from the main trunks again. The side branches, or long shoots, then begin to develop. You should stick to a maximum of 4 long shoots per main trunk.</li> <li>In the third year, the long shoots should also be shortened to 1-1.5 meters. At this time, flowers often begin to form around the first few centimeters of the side branches, which then turn into fine fruits.</li> <li> In the following years, year by year, you select the best side branches/long shoots on your plant. Cut away the other emerging branches. In this way, you have formed a star-shaped branch attachment, a collar, which supports the rest of the plant with fruits.</li> <li> Do not leave too many side branches as this will result in a dense plant with fewer fruits. By topping emerging herbaceous branches during the summer you allow more sunlight and air to reach the fruits, which will benefit their growth.</li> <li> Any pruning of woody plant parts is done in late autumn/early winter to avoid bleeding.</li> </ul> <p> <strong>Features:</strong></p> <p> Year: Perennial<br> Growing position: sun<br> Height: 3-4 m<br> Growing zone: 1-5</p>

The papaya fruit also contains high levels of vitamin C, folate, and the antioxidant beta-carotene.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">The papaya tree has an almost cress-like aroma found in nearly all parts of the plant - leaves, trunk, fruit skin, and seeds as well as the unripe fruits. One might almost think it is a large cress plant with fruit. However, the taste is not noticeable in the fully ripe fruits.</span></p> <p>Papaya and its plant parts have long been used in traditional medicine for a variety of purposes. Papaya seeds have, among other things, been used for digestive problems, and the sap from the tree has been used to treat parasite-caused infections thanks to its antiparasitic properties. The sap from papaya has also been used as an anesthetic (painkiller).</p> <div title="Page 2" class="page" data-mce-fragment="1"> <div class="section" data-mce-fragment="1"> <div class="layoutArea" data-mce-fragment="1"> <div class="column" data-mce-fragment="1"> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</strong> </p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The papaya tree is one of the fastest-growing fruit trees in its natural tropical environment, where it bears fruit already 4-6 months after sowing.

The fruit is yellow with red hues, juicy and sweet with a mild scent. It is often eaten fresh but is also suitable for pickling, compote, or drying. Since the fruit ripens early and quickly after harvest, it should be consumed or preserved in time to avoid overripeness.</p> <h4>Cultivation</h4> <p>Thrives in sunny and sheltered locations. Plant in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and water regularly during establishment and in dry periods. The variety is not self-pollinating – it is recommended to plant together with another pear variety for a better harvest. The fruit ripens in August–September depending on location.</p> <h4>Characteristics</h4> <p><strong>Perennial:</strong> Perennial<br><strong>Growing site:</strong> Sun<br><strong>Height:</strong> 4–7 meters<br><strong>Growing zone:</strong> 1–3<br><strong>Harvest maturity:</strong> After 3–5 years</p>

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.</span></p> <p>The pecan nut contains abundant minerals such as zinc, magnesium, calcium, and iron as well as Omega-6 fats.</p> <p>The nuts contain monounsaturated fats, and their well-known benefits for good health are many.</p> <p>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.</p> <h4> <strong>Cultivation</strong>: </h4> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Plant trees at least 15 meters apart to allow room for their natural large size.</p> <p><span>Water generously during the first years of establishment.</span></p> <p><span>The tree is ready for harvest after 3-8 years.</span></p> <p>Nuts ripen in late autumn.
