<h4>SEEDS (5pcs/bag)</h4>
<p><strong>Common names</strong>: Asimina, Paw Paw<br> <strong>Scientific name</strong>: <em>Asimina triloba</em><br> <strong>Family</strong>: Annonaceae</p>
<h4><strong>Plant history & use</strong>:</h4>
<p>Asimina is one of the most tropical-like fruits that can grow in temperate climate - USDA Zone is 5-8. The taste is best described as a mixture of banana and mango with a tint of strawberry and the texture is similar to that of papaya or a perfectly ripe avocado. The fruit looks like a small green mango with golden yellow flesh.<br><br> 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.</p>
<h4><strong>Cultivation</strong>:</h4>
<p>Asimina originates from and grows naturally in North America, often as undergrowth under larger trees.<br><br> They thrive in humus-rich, nutrient-rich and slightly moist well-drained soils.<br> <br>Asimina trees thrives in sheltered locations and therefore likes to grow under larger trees and also like to stand close together with other Asimina trees, approx. 1 m apart in full grown size. This protects against wind and direct sunlight and facilitates pollination. East facing spots is a suitable place to plant Asimina. Plants that grow in exposed locations do significantly worse than plants that grow in protected locations.<br><br> Water abundantly or plant in a place with good water supply.<br><br>The Asimina plant 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.<br><br> In open grounds, Asimina naturally grows into a dense thicket by spreading via root shoots.<br><br> It takes about 4-8 years from seed sowing to fruiting tree.</p>
<h4><strong>Sowing</strong>:</h4>
<p><span style="color: #404040;" data-mce-style="color: #404040;">NOTE: These seeds have already been treated with a cold period (stratification). The stratification below is therefore not necessary if the seeds are sown soon after purchase.</span></p>
<p>The seeds need a cold period of 2-3 months to germinate. This can be done by placing the seeds in a bag of sand/peat in the fridge for the suggested time. After the cold period, the seeds are sown in soil, keep the seed warm and moist, preferably around 25 degrees.</p>

<h4 data-mce-fragment="1">SEEDS (20pcs/bag)</h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Common name:</strong> Caper, Caper Bush, Flinders Rose<br> <strong>Scientific name:</strong> <em>Capparis spinosa</em><br> <strong>Family:</strong> Capparaceae</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong><span>Plant history & use:</span></strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The Caper Bush is a Mediterranean plant that have a long history of being cultivated for its edible unopened flower buds. After picking, they are put in salt to release bitter compounds and to bring out the sourness. This is the kind of capers we often see canned in stores. You can also let the flowers remain on the plant until they eventually turn into fruits, the fruits can then similarly be put into salt to be made ready for consumption. </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Preserving capers is very easy. It can be broken down into 4 steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Put the fresh flower buds/fruits in a bowl of salt</li>
<li>Leave the buds/fruits in the bowl with salt for 3-7 days (or longer if desired).</li>
<ul>
<li>Drain the water that accumulates in the bowl and add some extra salt every day.</li>
</ul>
<li><meta charset="utf-8">When preservation is finished, rinse off the salt from the buds/fruits and soak them in water. Soaking time is up to your own taste, but recommended minimal time is 15 minutes. You can soak for several hours if desired. Grab a spoon and make a taste test every once in a while to find the flavor that suits you.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also pickle younger shoots and leaves from the Caper Bush. If you want to use slightly older leaves and shoots, a tip is to blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before pickling. Mix your caper shoots & leaves with salt and vinegar, leave in the fridge for about 1 month. Ready to eat.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation of capers has been traced back as far as 7,000 years ago in present-day Turkey, Jordan and Syria. There, it is believed to have been used for both culinary and medicinal applications. In medicinal use, all plant parts were used, most prominently as a digestive aid.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">In tropical & sub-tropical food forests (agroforestry) it is effectively used in the lower layer as a ground cover plant.</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Cultivation</strong>:</h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">In its natural environment, capers often grow in high temperatures and soils with poor water and nutrient availability. A typical adaptation to a nutrient-poor environment is its very widespread root system, which makes it suitable as a soil binder in shorelines or eroding soils etc. In its natural environment, it is often growing on rocky cliffs and slopes. It grows on the walls of many ancient Mediterranean fortifications. The caper is an easily cultivated bush for home growers in the Mediterranean region (Spain, Italy, Greece, the coastal Balkan countries and south & west Turkey).</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><meta charset="utf-8">The Caper Bush develops an extensive root system, hence it grows best in deep, medium-textured, loamy soils.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">In temperate climate, capers are best grown in pots in bright locations and overwintered frost-free. Capers are characterized by an initial upright growth to later grow long horizontal lateral shoots that spread along the ground - or hang down along the wall that the plant has mounted.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The bush is productive and in optimal conditions there can be good harvests of up to 3000 buds per bush and season. In temperate climate, you can't really expect the same results, but you can do your best to mimic the plant's natural environment by:</p>
<ul data-mce-fragment="1">
<li data-mce-fragment="1">put it in direct sunlight throughout the summer months,</li>
<li data-mce-fragment="1">let it grow in well-drained Mediterranean soil </li>
<li data-mce-fragment="1">let the soil dry out between waterings.</li>
</ul>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">It's recommended to transplant your Caper Bush into a larger pot as the plant grows bigger.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">As mentioned earlier, you harvest either the unopened flower buds or the fully formed fruits. If the flower bud is allowed to bloom, the bush produces sweetly scented, spectacular flowers. The Caper Bush can flower already in the first year sown from seed.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Caper buds are usually picked in the morning since that is when they're believed to have their highest aromatic value.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The Caper plant an be propagated via cuttings.</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Sowing</strong>:</h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Caper seeds germinate irregularly. To create better germination conditions:</p>
<ul data-mce-fragment="1">
<li data-mce-fragment="1">Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 1 day</li>
<li data-mce-fragment="1">Place the seeds between two pieces of damp tissue paper/moist sand and leave in the fridge for 4-6 weeks</li>
<li data-mce-fragment="1">Soak the seeds one final time in lukewarm water<meta charset="utf-8"> for 1 day</li>
<li data-mce-fragment="1">Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep in sowing soil</li>
</ul>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The roots of the young caper plants are usually easily disturbed and are sensitive to damage when transplanting. A good solution can be to sow the seeds in <a title="Degradable growing trays 10-pack" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/smarta-redskap/products/nedbrytbara-odlingsbrickor-10-pack" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong>degradable growing trays</strong></span></a> that you can seamlessly transplant into a larger pot without disturbing the roots.</p>

<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Plant history & use:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">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.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">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 title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong>Morus nigra</strong></span></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 title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum"><strong><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">the goji berry</span></strong></a> .</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Dried white mulberries berries have a caramel-like taste.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">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.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">You can also make juice and jam from the berries.</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Culture:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The White Mulberry tree is somewhat hardier than its relative <a title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" data-mce-fragment="1" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Morus nigra</strong></span></a> and can withstand temperatures down to -30 <span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span> <span data-mce-fragment="1">C.</span> 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.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Suitable as a trellis tree as the branches are easily bendable.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">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.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Mulberries are self-fertile, which means that only one tree is needed to bear fruit.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">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.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The berries ripen continuously from mid-summer to early autumn.<br></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong></strong>When it's time to harvest, a tip is to pick the berries with a needle to avoid crushing them between your fingers.</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Mulberry seeds germinate best if given a cold period of 2-3 months. To induce this, mix the seeds with a small amount of sand/peat/sowing soil and place in a plastic bag in the fridge for the above period. Check periodically if any seeds have germinated in the bag. When the cold period is over, carefully spread the contents of the bag into a pot of soil.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span>Alternatively, sow outdoors</span> <span>in February in a glass-covered seed bed or greenhouse.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">It usually takes 2-4 weeks for the seeds to germinate. However, some seeds may need another 12 months to germinate.</p>

The black goji berry is particularly rich in anthocyanins, with a<span> </span><meta charset="utf-8">content higher than that of blueberries. The shrub originates from<span> </span>the areas around the Tibetan Plateau and southern Russia.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Black Goji is a plant that has not yet received much attention in the West, but it has long been used by the indigenous people in the regions of its natural 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<span> </span><em>lutein</em>.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">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 give blueberries their blue color and also contribute to a large part of their nutritional value.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Ripe Black Goji berries can be eaten raw, dried or cooked.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The most common way to consume black goji berries is to make a so-called infusion. This is best done when they are completely fresh, but it can also be done with dried berries. The goji berry gives off different colors depending on the type of water used. In mineral-rich water <meta charset="utf-8">(basic: pH >7) the infusion becomes deep blue and in acidic water <meta charset="utf-8">(pH <7) the color sets to an intense purple.</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Black Goji natively grows in fairly 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 thrive in temperatures down to -20 ºC.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The Black Goji 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 sides to prevent erosion as well as shelter from coastal winds. It thrives in locations with lots of sunlight.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The Black Goji bush grows up to 2 m and can be grown outdoors in open ground in all of Europe. To protect the Black Goji bush from the harshest conditions, you can cover the base of the plant with straw, leaves etc. in late summer and keep it covered during the colder months - this will protect the plant from the most severe cold as well as prolong the growing season.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The numerous berries first appear in green to later turn black/bluish-purple. It is only then that they are ready for harvest. This takes place in summer-autumn.</p>

<p>Goji berries are one of the most popular superfoods on the market and they are often used in muesli, smoothies, salads and bread or simply eaten as they are. The reason for its popularity is probably because the goji berry is one of the most nutrient-dense berries available. It is rich in vitamins and minerals as well as omega-3 and antioxidants. The goji berry also has a particularly high protein content of 10g per 100g, which is very unusual among fruits and berries. The taste is sweet with hints of cranberry and cherry. The berries are usually dried before use.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The red goji berry is richer in carotenoids than the <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-goji-lycium-ruthenicum" title="Black Goji Berry (Lycium ruthenicum)" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong>black goji berry</strong></span></a>, while the black one is richer in antioxidants.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The root is used in herbal medicine for its liver cleansing properties.</p>

<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <span data-mce-fragment="1">Papaya is most often eaten as a fruit salad or as part of smoothies and fruit juices. You can also make a salad by grating the green, unripe fruit, like carrots. 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 that is found in almost all parts of the plant - leaves, stem, fruit skin and seeds, as well as the unripe fruits. You could almost think that 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 been used for digestive problems, and the sap from the tree has been used to treat parasitic infections due to its antiparasitic properties. Papaya sap has also been used as an anesthetic <span data-mce-fragment="1">.</span> </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 as early as 4-6 months after planting. The papaya tree thrives best in warm, humid environments.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> In Sweden, the climate is not as permissive, but when grown in greenhouses and thanks to papaya's fast-growing properties, it is probably the easiest tropical fruit to harvest within a short period of 1-2 years.</p>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span>Use a well-drained soil with a high level of organic matter. Provide plenty of water during fruit formation. Natural fertilizer is recommended as early as 4-6 weeks after seed germination.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing:</strong></p>
<p> The seeds are easy to sow and grow quickly. Place the seeds in the soil with the tip down and cover them with a thin layer of soil.</p>
