Trachycarpus 'Bulgaria', 30 fresh seeds packet

The seeds were collected from genuine exemplars of Trachycarpus 'Bulgaria' located in Assenovgrad, near Plovdiv. They have never seen any protection during the winters. The owner Kiril Donov planted the palms back in 1999 from seeds, collected from the famous genuine exemplars, growing in front of the police station in the Sunny beach resort, near the Black Sea coast.

Originally, these parent palms have male parent from Sochi, Russia and the female parent was from the museum palms in Plovdiv. The male parent from Sochi was Trachycarpus excelsa, as described in the Russian scientific literature. Today Trachycarpus excelsa is clasified inside the species Trachycarpus fortunei.

The palms in Bulgaria experience extremely freezing weather almost each winter. Still, they seed freely around the mother plant's bases. When the small seedlings survive, they develop the cold hardiness in the future generations.

Please note, that these seeds are only available from Christmas until the end of March each year! The usual germination is between 80-95 %.

Brahea edulis, Guadalupe Palm

from Botanical garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

This palm species have a reputation to be cold hardy. It has already proved it by successfuly overwintering for many years around Plovdiv, Bulgaria (zone 7a) with Christmas lights.

As a palm of semi-desert origin, it needs plenty of sun. When watered and fertilized regularily, it will show a very good growth. But still, this is a very slow growing palm, pretty much like the Jubaea.

Olea europaea Koroneiki

olive variety from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

This is the most popular Greek variety of olive for oil. It originates from the island of Zakynthos and is officially recognized for the variety that gives the best quality olive oil in the world. The trees are beautiful and bring forth abundantly, even in a pot. The fruits are dark, small and pointed.

Unfortunately, this wonderful olive variety can't grow almost anywhere outdoors without protection in Bulgaria. It suffers damage from frost at temperatures below -8 degrees at temperatures below -12 to -15 degrees may freeze completely, even old trees.

Olea europaea Petroelia

olive variety from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

This is a popular Greek variety olives. The trees are beautiful and bring forth abundant. The fruits are dark, large and rounded, with characteristic shape.

This variety can grow in the warmest parts of Bulgaria, and in Greece it has a reputation to be very frost-resistant. But from our experience with it for more than 15 years, we proved that it is too risky for most places in southern Bulgaria, even in places where there are already large and fruit-bearing trees (Asenovgrad). The first few winters after planting are crucial. When enough mild winters, the tree may be able to grow and significantly increase their resilience to cold.

Cylindropuntia imbricata, Walking Stick Cholla, Tree Cactus

from Botanical garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Important notice! Most citrus plants on the market are produced for planting in orchards in the Mediterranean countries. They have a large overall height, have high graft and are difficult to shape and support at home. Rootstocks on which they are grafted are very fast growing, which is fine for the open ground in the subtropics, but is not desirable when growing in pot in the temperate climate.

All our small citrus plants are produced specifically for the Bulgarian market and are ideally suited for home cultivation. The rootstocks cause compact growth, grafts are low and this allows making an excellent shape of the crown, to be suitable for growing in pots. The used rootstocks are trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata 'Flying Dragon') and Volkamer lemon, Citrus volkameriana. Trifoliate orange is frost-hardy to -25°C, and significantly increases the cold resistance of plants grafted on it.

Citrofortunella mitis variegata, Calamondin variegated,

the perfect ornamental citrus from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

If you want a mandarin plant, which blooms all year round and freshens the air with a pleasant fragrance, to set fruits throughout the year, and is laden with ripe fruit throughout the year, the Calamondin should be your choice. This is probably the best ornamental citrus. Fruits are sour but as they stay on the tree all year round, usually they are left for decoration.

As with all other Citrus plants, the Calamondin is susceptible to scales and spider mites and needs to be sprayed twice a year.

In winter it will need a cool place with temperatures 0-10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher, the leaves usually fall off. In summer it needs to be outside and abundantly watered.

Cycas revoluta, King Sago from Botanical garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

The Cycads are not a true palms, they are ancient gymnospermous plants, contemporary of the dinosaurus.

A huge fallacy about the King Sago is that they are difficult and demanding plants. This fallacy is supported by the wrong growing advices, that people receive at the flower shops.

The King Sago is a very easy to grow plant. What they need is regular watering and fertilizing. During the summer they need to be moved outside to a very bright light and should get at least 2-3 hours direct sun. During the winter they should be stored in a cool place with plenty of light.

The main problems with Cycads in pot are due to low light or too little water.

Until we are able to determine its eventual official name, we will use the working name Hardy Yellow. This variety performed better or the same as Michurinska-10 during the freezing February 2012 when it overwintered with no damage in our experimental field.

The fruits are large, 100-120 gr, its flesh is amber, sweet and juicy. Thy are not very durable and it is recommended to consume them not far from the place of production. There are two abundant crops.

In summary, this is a great fig variety with delicious fruits.

The fruit taste is delicious, juicy and with high sugar content. In some years the fruits tend to split, depending on weather conditions.

This fig variety has very good cold tolerance and that is why it is so popular in Bulgaria. It is especially often found around Varna and Stambolijski, where they grow in almost each yard.

Tangelo varieties are hybrids between Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) and Pomelo or Grapefruit. Hybrid Nova is created from a cross between Tangerine Clementine and Tangelo variety Orlando. Fruits are deep orange. The flesh is firm, juicy and flavorful, with a very pleasant and specific taste.

Characteristic of the fruit of Tangelo Nova are:

•      - strong flavor
•      - juicy and with high sugar content
•      - moderate acidity
•      - thin peel
•      - 12 to 16 segments
•      - ripen in December - January
•      - seedless or with a few seeds

For a good crop, Tangelo Nova needs cross-pollination with other citrus species or variety.

As with all other Citrus plants, the orange is susceptible to scales and spider mites and needs to be sprayed twice a year.

In winter it will need a cool place with temperatures 0-10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher, the leaves usually fall off. In summer it needs to be outside and abundantly watered.

Citrus unshiu Myagawa, Unshiu Mandarin

Satsuma Myagawa from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Unshiu Mandarin (Satsuma, Tangerine) is the earliest mandarin on the market. These are the mandarins which you probably buy each year in October and November. They are generally seedless, peel very easily, and the taste is sweet, but also slightly sour.

Characteristic of the fruits of the Unshiu (Satsuma) mandarin are:

•      - strong flavor
•      - juicy and with high sugar content
•      - moderate acidity
•      - very thin peel
•      - 8 to 12 segments
•      - very early, ripen in October-November
•      - seedless

Besides its valuable qualities, Tangerine Unshiu (Satsuma) is among the most cold resistant edible citruse after Kalamondin and Kumquat. When grafted on trifoliate orange, Trifoliata (Poncirus trifoliata), it will withstand short cold snap to -9°C,  and with some damage on the leaves and young branches trees will withstand -12°C.

It is an absolute internet speculation, that there are other edible citrus varieties that withstand more cold, like the boasted orange hybrid US119 or Sanford F2 Curafora, which are less cold hardy than Kalamondin and Kumquat, or at the very best - equally cold hardy. Growing them outdoors without protection is not possible anywhere in Bulgaria. This was proved by our experiments since 1999 till now in the region of Assenovgrad.

As with all other Citrus plants, the orange is susceptible to scales and spider mites and needs to be sprayed twice a year.

In winter it will need a cool place with temperatures 0-10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher, the leaves usually fall off. In summer it needs to be outside and abundantly watered.

Citrus x Clementine

Mandarin Clementine from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Clementines are a hybrid of mandarin and sweet orange, sometimes called Algerian Tangerine. In just a century, this hybrid has grown to a group of varieties that cover several months of maturing and are among the most popular dessert Mandarins.

Characteristics of the fruits of the Clementines are:

• - strong flavor
• - juicy with high sugar content
• - low acidity
• - thin peel
• - separate in 7 to 12 segments
• - ripen in late November to late January
• - seedless

Typical of clementines are their seedless fruits. But it depends on growing conditions and agrotechnics. Regular fertilization and cross-pollination with other citrus varieties are results in a different number of seeds inside the fruits.

As with all other Citrus plants, the orange is susceptible to scales and spider mites and needs to be sprayed twice a year.

In winter it will need a cool place with temperatures 0-10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher, the leaves usually fall off. In summer it needs to be outside and abundantly watered.

Important notice! Most citrus plants on the market are produced for planting in orchards in the Mediterranean countries. They have a large overall height, have high graft and are difficult to shape and support at home. Rootstocks on which they are grafted are very fast growing, which is fine for the open ground in the subtropics, but is not desirable when growing in pot in the temperate climate.

All our small citrus plants are produced specifically for the Bulgarian market and are ideally suited for home cultivation. The rootstocks cause compact growth, grafts are low and this allows making an excellent shape of the crown, to be suitable for growing in pots. The used rootstocks are trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata 'Flying Dragon') and Volkamer lemon, Citrus volkameriana. Trifoliate orange is frost-hardy to -25°C, and significantly increases the cold resistance of plants grafted on it.

Citrus sinensis Moro, Orange from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

The Red Orange, or Blood orange, first appeared on the island of Sicily. It was believed that the red color of meat and unique taste are due to the unique climate in Sicily and the volcanic soils. The fruits ripen from February to April.

As with all other Citrus plants, the orange is susceptible to scales and spider mites and needs to be sprayed twice a year.

In winter it will need a cool place with temperatures 0-10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher, the leaves usually fall off. In summer it needs to be outside and abundantly watered.

The plants are grafted soon!

Phoenix roebelenii, Pigmy Date Palm, Miniature Date Palm

The Pigmy Date palm is perfect for growing in pot.

It is a member of the genus of the Date palm. In internet it is often stated as cold hardy to -6 degrees Celsius, but in Europe it only grows in zone 10 and rarely in zone 9b. This palm is of tropical origin and it needs higher temperatures to thrive, not just higher minimums.

The European Fan Palm is the only palm, that is of European origin. It grows in dry and rocky areas, where it experiences long summers with high temperatures and much sun. If there is a palm that will easily recover in pot after being forgotten and not watered in time, this is the Chamaerops. It will take dry air, dust and even somewhat lower light.

This palm could stay in the same pot for many years.

For optimal growth it should be moved outside in summer and watered abundantly.

In winter it needs cool temperatures, below +10°C. It will also grow in open ground in some areas of Bulgaria.

http://forum.palmi.bg/viewforum.php?f=34

The Mexican Fan Palm is among the fastest growing palms. If planted in the ground in south Bulgaria, a plant of the size like these on the picture will easily grow a meter of trunk with base circumference of more than a meter. And this in just 3-4 years.

An exceptionally easy palm to grow, both in the open ground or in pot.

More information about these palms is available in our forum: http://forum.palmi.bg/viewforum.php?f=32

Phoenix canariensis, Canary Island Date Palm, 70-90 cm, pot 14 cm

The Canary Island Date Palm comes from deserted areas on the Canary islands. Despite it's powerful root system, it does not tolerate drought, when grown in pot. This is easily visible, when the leaf tips start to turn yellow and dry. In winter it should be kept cool, down to 0 degrees Celsius. It needs much sun to be able to develop it's full glory. If the surrounding air is very dry, this palm will still thrive, as long as it is watered regularly. 

If you want this palm to look its best and to grow fast, you need to move it to a bigger pot. When outside in summer, you need to water every day!
