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.

http://forum.palmi.bg/viewforum.php?f=67
 

Our collection of Plumeria consists of over 70 different varieties. During the next 2-3 years we will offer each of them at the lowest price in Europe.

All plants offered are vegetatively propagated , 100% identical to the maternal plants. So we have a limited amount of material. Plumerias are propagated also by seeds, but usualy the colors and shape of the flowers of the resulting plants never resemble the parent, and most often have worthless flowers.

Vegetatively produced plants are very expensive worldwide. Therefore, we have gathered a large collection of varieties from which to multiply and to offer the plants at an affordable price.

Plumerias are succulents. This means that they are very easy to grow in pots and require minimal care to grow and bloom. They only need a very warm and bright place and sunshine as much as possible. Then, a little water and fertilizer from time to time is all they need. As long as you follow these simple rules:

1. Never over-water them. Never let water to collect in the padding underneath the pots. Even in the summer, nothing will happen to them if they do gete water a few days. In winter, watering every 2-3 weeks or more.

2 . In winter, keep them in a temperature no lower than 12 degrees Celsius. If you keep them on a south window and it's warm enough, you can water them properly and they will not fall into winter rest, but instead will grow and bloom in the winter and fill the room with fragrance. If the room is cool, keep them dry, the leaves will fall off and they will go dormant for the winter.

3 . During the summer, keep them outdoors in the sunniest spot. This will ensure flowering throughout the summer .

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 hystrix

Kaffir Lime from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Kaffir lime is widely used in cooking in south-east Asia, where it originates.

Limequat
Citrus  x Limequat

This unusual citrus is a cross between a Lime and a Kumquat. This citrus will impress you with its beautiful fruits that are edible.

Its cultivation follows the principle of all other citrus trees, requiring abundant watering at least once a day in the summer, and twice a day on the hottest days.

In autumn, it is brought inside in a dry and cool place, with temperatures in the range of 1-15 degrees. In the spring, after it warms up and there are no nighttime sub-zero temperatures, it can be taken outside to start the formation of flowers and fruits. Flowering begins in February-March, and the ripening of the fruits is up to 6m.

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.

Hybrid tea Rosa 
 

  Climbing Rosa 
 

Ficus carica Green Ischia, Fig variety

This wonderful variety was discovered on the Italian island of Ischia, north of Naples. Ripe fruits are green in color, small, with a dark red and very tasty fleshy part. The "eye" is completely closed, which is why it is very rare to find rotten fruits. The variety is drought-resistant, but under irrigated conditions it produces larger and better-quality fruits. If not picked in time, the overripe fruits often dry on the tree without any deterioration in quality.

The Green Ischia variety does not need pollination. It gives two crops, the first crop (breba) is abundant and with large fruits, but in some years it is missing. The main crop is also abundant, the fruits remain smaller in size, but they are much tastier than those of the first harvest. The trees have very good cold resistance.

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.

Phyllostachys  'Spectabilis', Giant  bamboo

This giant bamboo is one of the most cold hardy of the large bamboos and is a very popular bamboo. It could reach up to 16 m.

The Golden bamboo is cold resistant down to at least -18°C, but its rhizome could survive after at least -25°C. However, in colder areas, where temperatures regularily drop below -18°C, this bamboo could hardly get taller than 8-10 meters, after many years. In areas outside of the temperature inversions in southern Bulgaria, the Golden  bamboo could reach its full potential and more than 12 meters of height.

It is important to regularily water and fertilize the bamboo. This bamboo tolerates lime soil quite well.

Limequat
Citrus  x Limequat

This unusual citrus is a cross between a Lime and a Kumquat. This citrus will impress you with its beautiful fruits that are edible.

Its cultivation follows the principle of all other citrus trees, requiring abundant watering at least once a day in the summer, and twice a day on the hottest days.

In autumn, it is brought inside in a dry and cool place, with temperatures in the range of 1-15 degrees. In the spring, after it warms up and there are no nighttime sub-zero temperatures, it can be taken outside to start the formation of flowers and fruits. Flowering begins in February-March, and the ripening of the fruits is up to 6m.

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 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.

More than any other Citrus, Kumquat is of high ornamental value. The fruits are tasty and are consumed with the peel. They can hang on the tree for several months ripening, so most people usually prefer to keep them as ornamental. As with all other Citrus plants, Kumquat is susceptible to scales and spider mites and needs to be sprayed twice a year.

Citrofortunella mitis, Calamondin, the perfect ornamental citrus from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

The graft is 10-15 cm high

Pot  φ 17 cm

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.

Magnolia kobus

Magnolias from seed bloom after many years. Our Magnolias are ennobled and bloom immediately or next summer. Magnolia Kobus is a deciduous species with rounded, large and green leaves with yellow autumn color. It blooms before leafing with white flowers that are about 10 cm in diameter. Flowering is very abundant in April-May. It reaches up to 10 m in height and 4-8 m in width.

These Magnolias grow without any problems everywhere in southern Bulgaria and along the Black Sea. But they will grow in quite a few places in Sofia or in northern Bulgaria.

Olea europaea Koroneiki

olive variety from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

The difference with the previous item is the age.

These are 3 years old.

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.

1 piece from Citrus cuttings/various types/

When ordering, please specify in the field for additional instructions from which variety you would like a cutting to be cut.

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.
