Plant list 2015

This year's plant list, I once worked with half a year from and to, and I begin to realize that it will never be completely finished, so it's better to let the current version.

In document is available to download here I have compiled a list of the plants we grow in Putt Myra forest garden and in our home garden in Hälsingbo, both located outside Stjärnsund in southern Dalarna. Both sites are located on the border between cultivation zone IV and V according to the Swedish zone map, but Hälsingbo has an exceptionally favorable microclimate where we can grow plants that would otherwise be considered hardy in cultivation zone III.

The document is divided into several tabs: In the tab Woody lists all woody plants we grow and some of their characteristics listed. All plants are sorted by their botanical names and common names is given in several languages ​​to make it easier to find the right plant for the European market. Resistance from the literature indicated that to the extent known, both under the American system (USDA) and the Swedish system,. Column “Potting” provides information on how long the plant has fared in each habitat. Column “The resulting” indicates where we have received from the plant and has nothing to do with the actual provenance in the botanical sense to do. Column “Where?” shows if the plants are grown in the open Putt Myra forest garden, in the garden of Hälsingbo with its favorable micro-climate, or in the large greenhouse in Putt Myra woodland garden where we have planted a number of trees and shrubs that are not hardy here in the open.

Tab Herbaceous lists most herbs we grow. This is given less information about each plant than in the tab “Woody”.

By Underlined Plant name indicates plants that we have tried, but that has not fared. I kolumnen “Note” there are, in some cases, information on why the plant was paid.

Tab Schemes shows the devices in the plant kingdom is represented in our farms. Each species belongs to a genus, which in turn belong to a family. Each family belongs to the order. In the forest gardening, the aim is to get a high diversity also order level, to spread the risk and prevent the spread of disease.

Tab Remarks lists footnotes present in the other tabs.

In the tab Literature I have compiled the literature I used to make plant lists.
