Nötviveln (weevils nuts) is generally considered to be the worst pest in commercial nötodlingar and is the main reason for the use of pesticides in nötodlingar worldwide. Also in southern Sweden seems to be a bit of a nuisance and many farmers I have been in contact with the south complain of major attacks on their bushes. To understand what […]
A long wait is over. Seven years after we planted the first hazelnut bushes in our garden planted with trees, we were now the first real harvest.

Here I have listed the rootstocks as my knowledge is suitable for use in our climate. Email me at skogstradgard@gmail.com or enter a comment in the comment box if you find errors or have […]
Plums and its relatives apricot, peach and almond can be grafted and inoculated in a relatively wide range of rootstocks. Here I list the rootstocks as my knowledge is suitable for our climate.

Thanks for all the rush of apple rootstocks! Now, B118, and M111 inlaid table. In this post, I have compiled an overview of rootstock for pears (Pyrus communis) and they are still relatively rare sand pears (Pyrus pyrifolia). Again, I am quite sure I have missed interesting rootstocks or have done wrong in the tables, so […]
