~~245 SEK~~ From 100 SEK

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

Mulberry tree of the fast-growing & hardy variety 'Mulle' (black berries) - current height: 60-80 cm Picture taken in autumn showing yellowing of leaves Common name: Mulberry 'Mulle' Black Mulberry, Black Mulberry Tree Scientific name: Morus acidosa Family: Moraceae Plant history & use: General info 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" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/vitt-mullbar-morus-alba">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 data-mce-fragment="1" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum">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: Withstands temperatures down to -25 ° C. The tree can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils. Tolerant in windy coastal climates but optimal growth occurs 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 mid-summer to early autumn. 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.

Japanese Raisin Tree - current height: 100-130 cm [Picture of tree coming soon] Common names: Japanese Raisin Tree, Oriental Raisin Tree, Raisin Tree, Chi-Chao Li Scientific name: Hovenia dulcis Family: Rhamnaceae Plant history & use: The Japanese Raisin Tree is a hardy tree found in Asia, from eastern China and Korea to the Himalayas where it grows at altitudes up to 2,000 m above sea level. The fleshy, sweet and fragrant fruits are eaten raw or cooked. When dried, they take on a taste and appearance reminiscent of raisins. An extract made from seeds, branches and young leaves can be eaten like honey and is also used to make wine and candy (Facciola, S.). The seeds contain about 15% protein and 7.8% fat (Duke. JA & Ayensu. ES). The raisin tree has long been used in traditional Chinese, Korean and Japanese medicines to treat a variety of ailments, including hangovers (Hyun TK et al.). The fruits of the raisin tree are already mentioned in materia medica from the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century. Modern research confirms that the flavanonol ampelopsin/dihydromyricetin (DHM), found in plants in the genera Ampelopsis and Cercidiphyllum , can reduce symptoms of alcohol intoxication and withdrawal (Reich L.). Extracts of Hovenia dulcis are commercially available and marketed as a remedy for the after-effects of excessive alcohol consumption. The tree is traditionally known for its health benefits when consumed in tea form. The wood from the Raisin Tree is hard and well suited for making furniture. Culture: Thrives well in well-drained, sandy clay soils in a sunny and warm location. It is best protected from frost in the first few years, after which the tree can withstand temperatures down to -15°C. However, if the tree is allowed to harden off slowly to the cold, the tissue can be allowed to mature (harden) and then the tree can be hardy down to -25°C (Huxley. A.). Avoid compact and wet soils. The tree is considered fast-growing and usually does not grow more than 5-6 meters tall in our climate. In other parts of the world it reaches heights of up to 30 meters. Can be topped to keep as a bush or allowed to grow to become more naturally tree-shaped. The raisin tree is drought tolerant, but the quality of the fruit can be significantly affected if the water supply is not good. Watering 2-3 times a week is recommended during spring and summer. The fruits usually ripen late in the season, around October. The fruits are harvested when they have dried on the tree, so there is no need for manual drying of the fruits. The raisin tree is self-fertile and produces abundant fruit at maturity. Features: Year: Perennial Growing position: sun / light shade Height: 4-30 m Germination time: 1-12 months Growing zone: 1-4

Water Tupelo 100-120 cm (Nyssa aquatica)

~~645 SEK~~ 595 SEK

1st Water Tupelo tree: 3 years old - current height 100-120 cm Common Names: Water Tupelo, Cottongum, Wild Olive, Large Tupelo, Tupelo-Gum, Water-Gum Scientific name: Nyssa aquatica Family: Nyssaceae Plant history & use: Water Tupelo is a striking tree native to North America. The tree often grows in marshes, swamps and wetlands near rivers - especially along the Mississippi River and its surrounding regions. Water Tupelo has no problem growing in standing water. The tree usually forms a "swollen" base at the bottom of the tree trunk, then tapering upwards along the trunk. This classic "swamp tree look" somehow leaves a grand impression on the observer - perhaps the sheer size of the tree also plays a role. It is a sight to behold beyond the ordinary in our Nordic regions. It still does not have an established Swedish name as it is a nearly non-existent plant in our regions, so we have chosen to let it keep its American name. The name Tupelo comes from a North American Indian language and is a combination of two words that mean "swamp/marsh" & "tree". Forms edible dark purple fruits that ripen in autumn. The fruits can be eaten raw but are more often used to make jam. The fruits are about 4 cm long, have a sour pulp and a relatively large seed. Water Tupelon, like the more familiar woodland Tupelon (Nyssa sylvatica), normally blooms in May, their inconspicuous flowers being very nectar-producing. Tupelo honey has a very rich flavor, and due to its high fructose content, it rarely crystallizes, making it one of the most popular North American honeys. The small dark purple fruits also make the tree a popular food tree for birds. Interesting from an ecosystem perspective, if for some reason you need to attract birds to your forest garden or similar. The wood from the roots is sometimes used to make floats instead of the more common wood from the Cork oak. The wood is also used for other carpentry and crafts. The leaves are glossy and turn a beautiful yellow-orange in autumn. Culture: Best grown directly in the ground in a designated location, as the tree will become both very large and old. Cold-resistant, can withstand temperatures down to -25ºC. Does best in locations with full sun or light shade. Tolerates poorly drained soils and can grow in standing water. Very resistant to flooding - reports state that the tree can survive up to 10 months when submerged to as much as ¾ of its height. This ability is possible thanks to the special structure of the tissue which can transport oxygen from the atmosphere to the airy cork-like roots. Use a humus-rich soil when planting your Water Tupelo to give it a good start. Potting soil works well. <meta charset="utf-8"> Often grows 15-25 meters tall and has a 6-15 meter wide crown in its natural environment.<meta charset="utf-8"> Water Tupelon often forms an even, dense, round crown. Water Tupelos are long-lived trees and do not bear fruit until they are about 30 years old. However, once fruiting age is reached, the tree produces fruit in abundance. <meta charset="utf-8"> Perfect for planting along the edge of a pond, lake or stream.

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
