Ficus carica Izmir, Fig from Izmir, from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

This variety is one of the best fig varieties!

Izmir fig has a superb taste that can not be easily described. The meat is very tender, juicy and sweet. The taste is balanced, really great.

This fig grows and produces two crops quite well in the conditions of southern Bulgaria. It grows vigorously and reaches large size. This fig will produce main crop without pollination, but as with all figs, pollination gives far better results. The picture shows not pollinated and pollinated fruits. Larger fruit is pollinated. Its taste is completely different, much better.

Freeze damage starts at temperatures below -14 to -16 degrees Celsius, and the trees may freeze to the ground at temperatures below -18 degrees. In northern Bulgaria it can be grown with creeping crown, near to the ground.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Azalea sp., cold hardy deciduous Azalea Lolipop

THE PRICE IS PER NUMBER!!!

These are deciduous azaleas that can be grown outdoors in most areas in Bulgaria .

They do not tolerate limestone, so they would feel best in beech and low altitude coniferous forest.

In the garden a partial shade or eastern exposure must be provided.

The soil pH+ must be acidic. This is accomplished by regularly adding ferrous sulfate. Azaleas are moisture-loving, but their soil must be well draining. They do not tolerate waterlogging .

By following these simple rules, your Azalia will bloom profusely each year in April.

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.

All photos are from our experimental filield in Assenovgrad, Bulgaria, zone 7b. We grow this bamboo there for more than 7 year

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.
