Chinese Date var. Li
Ziziphus jujuba cv. Li

 

 

The plants are bare rooted.
Height at the moment 80 cm - 1 m.

Li is the variety with the largest fruits. The fruits are oval in shape with crispy flesh and sweet taste. More suitable for fresh consumption than for drying. The fruits are ready for direct consumption in early autumn, when their skin begins to change color and the harvest can continue until they are fully ripe. The variety is self-pollinating and, as with all other varieties, the young plants have thorns. In adult plants, thorns are almost absent. Although the plants are drought-resistant, regular watering is necessary long enough for deep roots to develop. For a good harvest and larger fruits, regular watering in the summer is recommended.

!!! The offered plants are grafted and bare root.  Because of the limitation in the dimensions of the transport package, the plants can be cut at 100 cm in height.

Nymphaea alba Black Princess,  Water Lily Black Princess

These plants are not imported from Holland! If you buy Dutch Lilies, you know that most frequently nothing grows from them. The plants we offer are very well developed and sometimes even have flowers. They are well rooted in the pots and will not die for sure. Imported plants are usually cheaper, but most of them are only a small piece of root and have little chance of survival.

Since we propagate the Water Lilies by splitting the rhizomes of the large plants in our nursery pond, the quantity we produce is very limited, usually between 50 and 100 plants per year, from all colors.

Water Lily blooms continuously from early May until the end of September, and in recent years - till the end of October.

The Water Lily is an easy plant . Does not require clean water or circulation. On the contrary, it is best developed in marshy conditions and lack of circulation. The depth of the pond is best to be over a meter to the bottom, so the bottom will not freeze in winter.

It is recommended that the Water Lily is planted in the sand on the bottom . If left in a pot, it develops far less and fewer blooms. Planted on the bottom, the Water Lily grows vigorously and blooms continuously from early May to late September. It is better to add some colorful Japanese Koi Carps for the natural cycle in the water (so-called Nitrogen cycle).

If the pool is small and there are no conditions for growing Koi Carps, several common bream (a type of carp fish) will do a perfect job. They are extremely resistant fishes and are sold live at any fishing store as bait for pennies .

In winter the Water Lily requires no care, as long as the pond has enough depth.

Howea forsteriana, Howea, Kentia palm

 

Kentia palms are among the most beautiful palms that are grown in the Mediterranean. They have gentle and graceful leaves and for many people they remind of the coconut palm trees in the tropics.

 

Kentia palms do not like strong direct sunlight in Bulgarian conditions. They can be moved outside only when the temperatures are above zero, and at least partial shade must be provided.

 

For home use Kentia is the perfect plant. It grows slowly, tolerates the weaker Indoor light and can live for many years without causing problems.

Citrus limon red, Lemon red

 

 

This is still a very rare Citrus variety all around the world. In many countries, this new hybridit still has not been seen live. The plants are well developed and come to you loaded with flowers or fruits, according to the season.

The taste of the red lemons is less acidic if compared with that of the yellow lemons. The fruits are used in the same way, but are especially valuable in their appearance.

This variety is grown as all other citrus plants. It is best to overwinter the plants in a cool place, below +10 deg C.

 

The Alexander Palm (Archontophoenix alexandrae ) is a beautiful and elegant palm, not very fast fast-growing. Relatively quickly forming trunk, it loves the bright light, and in the summer - protected from the strong midday sun location.

Photos of smaller plants show what you buy for that price.

Photos of trunk and crown show what a plant looks like, when grown in pot in our conditions (Asenovgrad).

And also, there are pictures of palm trees in natural conditions in the tropics.

A modern view of Olive cultivation in Bulgaria

A practical guide to propagating and growing olives under Bulgarian conditions

220 pages. Bulgarian language

Author: Kiril Donov, engineer-agronomist, master in tropical and subtropical agriculture

The climate is changing at an unprecedented speed, and the frosty winters of the last century seem like an increasingly distant memory. The Eastern Mediterranean, the Balkan Peninsula and Bulgaria are warming faster than the rest of Europe, and today's climate in southern Bulgaria is even warmer than the climate in northern Greece 20 years ago. In our country there are already many areas where the climate is ideal for growing olives. And if until recently only individual trees of the most cold-resistant varieties were found here and there, today almost every olive variety can grow in most places south of Balkan mountain without any winter damage.
The author Kiril Donov is an agronomist engineer with a master's degree in Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture since 1997. In the book, he shares valuable information and over 260 author's photos, based on 25 years of experience and experiments with olives in Bulgaria. Such a detailed monograph on the subject is published for the first time in our country. All aspects of olive production are covered in detail:
- physiology and soil-climatic requirements of olive plants;
- various types of reproduction and production of planting material;
- varieties of olives tested under the conditions of our country;
- planning and creation of olive plantations in Bulgaria;
- pruning, fertilizing, watering, fighting diseases and pests;
- harvesting and processing of olive fruits.
The book is intended for farmers, agronomists, students and teachers. It goes into great detail, but is written in accessible language to be useful to anyone who decides to engage in olive production under Bulgarian conditions.

This Trachycarpus species is close to the regular Trachycarpus fortunei in terms of cold hardiness. It grows with just a little protection in places in southern Bulgaria, located outside the winter freezing inversions. It has very beautiful and hard leaves, that are very wind resistant.

About growing requirements it is like the regular Trachycarpus fortunei.
