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. Please comment on the compilation, either by emailing me at skogstradgard@gmail.com or by leaving a comment in the field below. I will update the tables […]
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 […]
In the last post in the series of different grafting techniques I described what happens when you take scions. At least as important as having scions of good quality is to have a rootstock that is adapted to the desired object. Rootstock provides the budding tree - which of course consists of two different plant individuals - […]
2019 is a bankrupted we really look forward! We start the season with a one-day course on growing and cooking with perennial vegetables.

Last year I wrote a few posts that are part of a longer series on grafting, where the various stages of the technology include and variations of grafting included. The series so far consists of posts about grafting indoor, grafting outdoors during the spring and early summer and inoculation. For the first two, it is important to have the scions of good quality […]

The whole thing gave way to high summer on record, who went to the worst drought we have experienced since we began growing more than 11 years ago. Mitt […]
A few years ago I wrote an enthusiastic article about the different mountain ash hybrids and sötrönnarna I knew then. On paper, they are of course very exciting. Rowan hybrids with its diverse genetics, some of which are triple junctions between rowan, apples and pears, as well as the fact that most of those said to be designed by the legendary Russian plant parents successor […]
Despite the prolonged drought this bad growing years in an unprecedented abundance of perennial crops and I have spent many hours to preserve the amazing flavors for the long and dark winter. A conservation method that I'm particularly fond of is to make fruit leather. Fruit leather is nothing more than dried fruit puree and may contain […]
One of the fruits that I was most fascinated by is asimina (Asimina triloba), who often goes by his English name pawpaw. Of all the strange plants that I concerned myself with over the years I have been working on forest gardening, it is the one that felt the most difficult to grow, and that is perhaps why it has been so tempting. Its […]
What you will be told now I have known for almost a month and it was challenging to say the least not at once tell the whole world that "Forest Garden: Growing edibles everywhere "has been named the year's garden book 2018.
