<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2>Wisteria Seeds (Wisteria sinensis)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 5 or 10 seeds.</h2> Wisteria (also spelled Wistaria or Wysteria) is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, that includes ten species of woody climbing vines native to the Eastern United States and to China, Korea, and Japan. Some species are popular ornamental plants, especially in China and Japan. An aquatic flowering plant with the common name wisteria or 'water wisteria' is in fact Hygrophila difformis, in the family Acanthaceae. Description Wisteria vines climb by twining their stems either clockwise or counterclockwise round any available support. They can climb as high as 20 m above the ground and spread out 10 m laterally. The world's largest known Wisteria vine is in Sierra Madre, California, measuring more than 1 acre (0.40 ha) in size and weighing 250 tons. Planted in 1894, it is of the Chinese lavender variety. The leaves are alternate, 15 to 35 cm long, pinnate, with 9 to 19 leaflets. The flowers are produced in pendulous racemes 10 to 80 cm long, similar to those of the genus Laburnum, but are purple, violet, pink or white. There is no yellow on the leaves. Flowering is in the spring (just before or as the leaves open) in some Asian species, and in mid to late summer in the American species and W. japonica. The flowers of some species are fragrant, most notably Chinese Wisteria. The seeds are produced in pods similar to those of Laburnum, and, like the seeds of that genus, are poisonous. Wisteria is an extremely hardy plant that is considered an invasive species in many parts of the U.S., especially the Southeast, due to its ability to overtake and choke out other native plant species. Wisteria species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including brown-tail. Cultivation Wisteria, especially Wisteria sinensis, is very hardy and fast-growing. It can grow in fairly poor-quality soils, but prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun. Wisteria can be propagated via hardwood cutting, softwood cuttings, or seed. However, specimens grown from seed can take decades to bloom; for this reason, gardeners usually grow plants that have been started from rooted cuttings or grafted cultivars known to flower well.[citation needed] Another reason for failure to bloom can be excessive fertilizer (particularly nitrogen). Wisteria has nitrogen fixing capability (provided by Rhizobia bacteria in root nodules), and thus mature plants may benefit from added potassium and phosphate, but not nitrogen. Finally, wisteria can be reluctant to bloom because it has not reached maturity. Maturation may require only a few years, as in Kentucky Wisteria, or nearly twenty, as in Chinese Wisteria. Maturation can be forced by physically abusing the main trunk, root pruning, or drought stress. Wisteria can grow into a mound when unsupported, but is at its best when allowed to clamber up a tree, pergola, wall, or other supporting structure. Whatever the case, the support must be very sturdy, because mature Wisteria can become immensely strong with heavy wrist-thick trunks and stems. These will certainly rend latticework, crush thin wooden posts, and can even strangle large trees. Wisteria allowed to grow on houses can cause damage to gutters, downspouts, and similar structures. Its pendulous racemes are best viewed from below. Wisteria flowers develop in buds near the base of the previous year's growth, so pruning back side shoots to the basal few buds in early spring can enhance the visibility of the flowers. If it is desired to control the size of the plant, the side shoots can be shortened to between 20 and 40 cm long in mid summer, and back to 10 to 20 cm in the fall. Once the plant is a few years old, a relatively compact, free-flowering form can be achieved by pruning off the new tendrils three times during the growing season; in June, July and August, for the northern hemisphere. The flowers of some varieties are edible, and can even be used to make wine. Others are said to be toxic. Careful identification by an expert is strongly recommended before consuming this or any wild plant. Taxonomy The botanist Thomas Nuttall said he named the genus Wisteria in memory of Dr. Caspar Wistar (1761–1818).[1][2] Questioned about the spelling later, Nuttall said it was for "euphony," but his biographer speculated that it may have something to do with Nuttall's friend Charles Jones Wister, Sr., of Grumblethorpe, the grandson of the merchant John Wister.[3] (Some Philadelphia sources state that the plant is named after Wister.)[4] As the spelling is apparently deliberate, there is no justification for changing the genus name under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.[5] However, some spell the plant's common name "wistaria", and Fowler is decisively for the "wistaria" spelling. Genetic analysis shows Callerya, Afgekia and Wisteria to be each other's closest relatives and quite distinct from other members of the tribe Millettieae. Both have eight chromosomes. In culture Fuji Musumè (藤娘?) or Wisteria Maiden is an Otsu-e (Japanese folk painting in Ōtsu, Shiga) subject thought to have been inspired by popular dances. These paintings were often sold as good-luck charms for marriages. Fuji Musumè is also a famous classical Kabuki dance. In Barbara Kingsolver's novel The Bean Trees, Turtle refers to wisteria vines as bean trees, because the pre-bloomed flower pods are shaped like beans. Later, she and Taylor learn that wisteria is a legume (i.e., is in the bean family) and that wisteria and other legumes engage in symbiotic relationships, just as the book's characters do. In Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Giant Wistaria," the plant becomes both a sign of virility ("'It groweth well, this vine thou broughtest me in the ship, my husband.'") as well as a sign of destruction. A daughter has a child out of wedlock and her parents plan to take her back to the old country while giving the baby to a local town. The daughter hears this and ultimately, drowns the baby. She either hangs herself from the wistaria vines roots growing in the basement or they strangle her and kill her; the story doesn't clarify. </body> </html>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2>Seeds Arabica Coffee Plant (Coffea Catura Arabica)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 5 or 10 Seeds.</h2> The world's most important beverage plant, with its handsome shiny foliage and fragrant white flowers, make fine indoor plants. In its natural habitat, these become small trees up to 20 feet high but rarely exceed 6 feet inside. It is easy to care for the plant and adapts well to full sun to part shade. To produce flowers and eventually coffee beans, the temperature must be kept above 65 degrees F (18 degrees C). Plants will survive lower temperatures but flowering will be suppressed. Plants may bloom year-round depending on the temperature but generally, they are short-day plants, blooming most profusely when sunlight lasts for 8-10 hours a day. Flowers are generally self-fertile and will produce fruit without pollination. Coffee beans appear after flowering and turn red when they are ripe. These are worth raising as houseplants even if you don't like coffee! Coffee production has been a major source of income for Vietnam since the early 20th century. First introduced by the French in 1857, the Vietnamese coffee industry developed through the plantation system, becoming a major economic force in the country. Vietnam is the second-largest producer after Brazil, accounting for 14.3 percent of the world market share. The quality of the beans, however, has typically limited their marketability. Robusta coffee accounts for 97 percent of Vietnam's total output, with 1.17 million tonnes exported in 2009, a value of USD 1.7 billion. Arabica production is expected to rise owing to the expansion of growing areas. -- Wikipedia Of the two main species grown, arabica coffee (from C. arabica) is generally more highly regarded than robusta coffee (from C. canephora); robusta tends to be bitter and has less flavor but better body than arabica. For these reasons, about three-quarters of coffee cultivated worldwide is C. arabica. Robusta strains also contain about 40–50% more caffeine than arabica. For this reason, it is used as an inexpensive substitute for arabica in many commercial coffee blends. Good quality robusta beans are used in some espresso blends to provide a full-bodied taste, a better foam head (known as crema), and to lower the ingredient cost. -- Wikipedia <div> Coffee Arabica is one of the most in-demand and delicious coffee variants.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2>Autumn Olive Seeds Elaeagnus umbellata, Japanese silverberry</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 5 seeds. </h2> <div>Autumn olives are small in size and are round to oval in shape, growing on a deciduous shrub that can grow as tall as six meters in height. The spotted, matte skin is smooth and is painted in green, pink, and vibrant red hues. Inside, the opaque pink to red flesh is soft and juicy with one inedible seed in the center. Autumn olives are sweet, but can also be quite tart in taste depending on when they are picked in the season. In addition to the drupes, the leaves on the Autumn olive plant are oval and slightly elongated in shape, with dark green tops and grey to green undersides coated in silver scales. The leaves are also found in an alternating pattern and the edges of the leaves can be slightly rippled. The stem of the shrub is silver to golden brown with thorns and in the early spring cream to light yellow flowers can be found in clusters on the shrub. <h2>Seasons/Availability</h2> Autumn olives are available in the late summer through late fall. <h2>Current Facts</h2> Autumn olives, botanically classified as Elaeagnus umbellata, are known as a drupe, which is a fruit with an outer fleshy membrane and one single seed or pit inside. Also known as Japanese silverberry, Spreading oleaster, Umbellata oleaster, Autumn berries, and Autumn elaeagnus, Autumn olives are believed to have been given their name from their similarity in appearance to the Mediterranean olive tree even though the fruit is not an olive and is more similar to a berry. The Autumn olive plant is prolific and has the ability to thrive in poor soil, pastures, riverbanks, meadows, open woods, and even along roadsides. Originally introduced to North America to help control erosion, the plant quickly spread and has become an invasive species in specific regions of the United States. Though the plant is aggressive in its growth, it also provides a source of food for animals, and home chefs enjoy using the drupes in jams and baked goods. <h2>Nutritional Value</h2> Autumn olives are high in vitamins A, E, and C and are known for their high content of the antioxidant, lycopene. <h2>Applications</h2> Autumn olives are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as boiling, mashing, and pureeing. They can be used in both sweet and savory applications and are commonly frozen, made into jam, fruit leather, fermented into wine, or even dried and ground into a powder. They can also be used in smoothies and drink recipes. When raw, Autumn olives pair well with yogurt and ice cream. When cooked, Autumn olives pair well with pork chops, chilled soups, and desserts such as crumbles. They will last for a couple of days when stored in a dry and well-ventilated space in the refrigerator. <h2>Ethnic/Cultural Info</h2> Autumn olives are used as a key ingredient for health and wellness in Asia. Since it is native to the mountains of Eastern Asia, autumn olives are cultivated for their powerful antioxidants and are found in daily diets in Korea, China, and Japan. Traditional uses of Autumn olives include teas, wines, jams, and ground up into powder for medicine. <h2>Geography/History</h2> Autumn olives originated in Asia with records in China, Japan, and Korea and have been growing since ancient times. They were then brought to the United States in 1830 and used as a solution to wildlife habitat and erosion control. Though it was an excellent solution to those needs, Autumn olives spread quickly and overtook many of the natural habitats earning itself the title of an invasive species. Today Autumn olives can also be found in Great Britain, Asia, Canada, and in the United States. </div> <div></div> <div> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> Sowing Instructions </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Propagation: </td> <td valign="top"> Seeds / Cuttings </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Pretreat: </td> <td valign="top"> Pour hot water over the seeds and put them in water 6 hours. </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Stratification: </td> <td valign="top"> about 3-4 months in a moist substrate at 2-5 ° C in a refrigerator or cold house </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Time: </td> <td valign="top"> all year round </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Depth: </td> <td valign="top"> 1 cm </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Mix: </td> <td valign="top"> Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Germination temperature: </td> <td valign="top"> about 20-23 ° C. </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Location: </td> <td valign="top"> bright + keep constantly moist not wet </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Germination Time: </td> <td valign="top"> Germination takes up </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Watering: </td> <td valign="top"> Water regularly during the growing season </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> </td> <td valign="top"> Seeds Gallery 05.11.2012. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </body> </html>

The fruit is commonly consumed throughout Southeast Asia, the South Pacific, Micronesia, parts of East Asia, and the Caribbean. The tree is cultivated throughout tropical areas of the world. The fruit has distinctive ridges running down its sides (usually 5–6). When cut in cross-section, it resembles a star, giving its name as star fruit. The entire fruit is edible, usually raw, and may be cooked or made into relishes, preserves, garnish, and juices. <h2>Origins and distribution</h2> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="Carambola, Star Fruit Seeds (Averrhoa carambola)" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Carambolas765pt.jpg/220px-Carambolas765pt.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="177" class="thumbimage" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Carambolas765pt.jpg/330px-Carambolas765pt.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Carambolas765pt.jpg/440px-Carambolas765pt.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2277" data-file-height="1832" title="Carambola, Star Fruit Seeds (Averrhoa carambola)" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Sliced carambolas having 7, 6, and the usual 5 points</div> </div> </div> The center of diversity and the original range of Averrhoa carambola is tropical Southeast Asia, where it has been cultivated over centuries.[1][3][4][5] It was introduced to the Indian Subcontinent and Sri Lanka by Austronesian traders, along with ancient Austronesian cultigens like coconuts, langsat, noni, and santol.[6] They remain common in those areas and in East Asia and throughout Oceania and the Pacific Islands.[1][2] They are cultivated commercially in India, Southeast Asia, southern China, Taiwan, and the southern United States. They are also grown in Central America, South America, the Southwestern United States and Florida, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa.[1][2] They are grown as ornamentals.[1] Carambola is considered to be at risk of becoming an invasive species in many world regions. <h2>Description</h2> The carambola tree has a short trunk with many branches, reaching up to 30 feet (9.1 m) in height.[1] Its deciduous leaves are 6–10 inches (15–25 cm) long, with 5 to 11 ovate leaflets medium-green in color.[1] Flowers are lilac in color, with purple streaks, and are about 0.25 inches (6.4 mm) wide. The showy fruits have a thin, waxy pericarp, orange-yellow skin, and crisp, yellow flesh with juice when ripe.[1] The fruit is about 5 to 15 centimetres (2 to 6 inches) in length and is an oval shape. It usually has five or six prominent longitudinal ridges.[1] In cross section, it resembles a star.[1][2] The flesh is translucent and light yellow to yellow in color. Each fruit can have 10 to 12 flat light brown seeds about 6 to 13 mm (0.25 to 0.5 in) in width and enclosed in gelatinous aril. Once removed from the fruit, they lose viability within a few days.[7][8][9] Like the closely related bilimbi, there are two main types of carambola: the small sour (or tart) type and the larger sweet type. The sour varieties have a higher oxalic acid content than the sweet type. A number of cultivars have been developed in recent years. The most common cultivars grown commercially include the sweet types "Arkin" (Florida), "Yang Tao" (Taiwan), "Ma fueng" (Thailand), "Maha" (Malaysia), and "Demak" (Indonesia) and the sour types "Golden Star", "Newcomb", "Star King", and "Thayer" (all from Florida). Some of the sour varieties like "Golden Star" can become sweet if allowed to ripen. <h3>Common names</h3> Carambola is known by many names across its regions of cultivation, including balimbing in Southeast Asia, ma fen in China, kamaranga in India, and carambolo in Spanish-speaking countries, as examples.[1][2] <h2>Culinary</h2> <div class="thumb tleft"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Carambola_Starfruit.jpg/220px-Carambola_Starfruit.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="111" class="thumbimage" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Carambola_Starfruit.jpg/330px-Carambola_Starfruit.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Carambola_Starfruit.jpg/440px-Carambola_Starfruit.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2578" data-file-height="1300" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Vertical, end view, and cross section of the ripe carambola</div> </div> </div> <table class="infobox nowrap"><caption>Carambola, (star fruit), raw</caption> <tbody> <tr> <th colspan="2">Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz)</th> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Energy</th> <td>128 kJ (31 kcal)</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div>Carbohydrates</div> </th> <td> <div>6.73 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Sugars</th> <td>3.98 g</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Dietary fiber</th> <td>2.8 g</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div>Fat</div> </th> <td> <div>0.33 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> <div>Protein</div> </th> <td> <div>1.04 g</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamins</th> <td>Quantity<abbr title="Percentage of Daily Value">%DV</abbr>†</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin A equiv. <div>lutein zeaxanthin</div> </th> <td> <div>66 μg</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Thiamine (B1)</th> <td> <div>1%</div> 0.014 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Riboflavin (B2)</th> <td> <div>1%</div> 0.016 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Niacin (B3)</th> <td> <div>2%</div> 0.367 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Pantothenic acid (B5)</th> <td> <div>8%</div> 0.391 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin B6</th> <td> <div>1%</div> 0.017 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Folate (B9)</th> <td> <div>3%</div> 12 μg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Choline</th> <td> <div>2%</div> 7.6 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin C</th> <td> <div>41%</div> 34.4 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Vitamin E</th> <td> <div>1%</div> 0.15 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Minerals</th> <td>Quantity<abbr title="Percentage of Daily Value">%DV</abbr>†</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Calcium</th> <td> <div>0%</div> 3 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Iron</th> <td> <div>1%</div> 0.08 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Magnesium</th> <td> <div>3%</div> 10 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Manganese</th> <td> <div>2%</div> 0.037 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Phosphorus</th> <td> <div>2%</div> 12 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Potassium</th> <td> <div>3%</div> 133 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Sodium</th> <td> <div>0%</div> 2 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Zinc</th> <td> <div>1%</div> 0.12 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Other constituents</th> <td>Quantity</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Water</th> <td>91.4 g</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /> <div class="wrap">Link to USDA Database entry</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <div class="plainlist"> <ul> <li>Units</li> <li>μg = micrograms • mg = milligrams</li> <li>IU = International units</li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="wrap">†Percentages are roughly approximated using US recommendations for adults.

The flesh is crunchy, firm, and extremely juicy.[2] It does not contain fibers and has a texture similar in consistency to that of grapes. Carambolas are best consumed shortly after they ripen, when they are yellow with a light shade of green or just after all traces of green have disappeared. They will also have brown ridges at the edges and feel firm. Fruits picked while still slightly green will turn yellow in storage at room temperature, but will not increase in sugar content. Overripe carambola will be yellow with brown spots and can become blander in taste and soggier in consistency. Ripe sweet type carambolas are sweet without being overwhelming as they rarely have more than 4% sugar content. They have a tart, sour undertone, and an oxalic acid odor. The taste is difficult to match, but it has been compared to a mix of apple, pear, grape, and citrus family fruits. Unripe star fruits are firmer and sour, and taste like green apples. Ripe carambolas may also be used in cooking. In Southeast Asia, they are usually stewed in cloves and sugar, sometimes with apples. In China, they are cooked with fish. In Australia, they may be cooked as a vegetable, pickled, or made into jams. In Jamaica they are sometimes dried. Unripe and sour type carambolas can be mixed with other chopped spices to make relishes in Australia.[1] In the Philippines, unripe carambolas are eaten dipped in rock salt. In Thailand, they are cooked together with shrimp.[1] The juice from carambolas is also used in iced drinks, particularly the juice of the sour varieties. In the Philippines they can be used as seasoning. In India, the juice is bottled for drinking. <h3>Nutrition</h3> Raw carambola is 91% water, 7% carbohydrates, 1% protein, and has negligible fat (table). A 100 gram reference amount of raw fruit supplies 31 calories and a rich content of vitamin C (41% of the Daily Value), with no other micronutrients in significant content (table). <h2>Health risks</h2> Carambolas contain caramboxin[13] and oxalic acid.[1][14] Both substances are harmful to individuals suffering from kidney failure, kidney stones, or those under kidney dialysis treatment.[14] Consumption by those with kidney failure can produce hiccups, vomiting, nausea, mental confusion, and sometimes death.[15][16][17] Caramboxin is a neurotoxin which is structurally similar to phenylalanine, and is a glutamatergic agonist.[13] <h3>Drug interactions</h3> Like the grapefruit, carambola is considered to be a potent inhibitor of seven cytochrome P450 isoforms.[18][19] These enzymes are significant in the first-pass elimination of many medications, and, thus, the consumption of carambola or its juice in combination with certain prescription medications can significantly increase their effective dosage within the body. <h2>Cultivation</h2> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="Carambola, Star Fruit Seeds (Averrhoa carambola)" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Carambola_star_fruit_at_organic_food_mela_Bangalore_Karnataka_India.jpg/220px-Carambola_star_fruit_at_organic_food_mela_Bangalore_Karnataka_India.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="thumbimage" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Carambola_star_fruit_at_organic_food_mela_Bangalore_Karnataka_India.jpg/330px-Carambola_star_fruit_at_organic_food_mela_Bangalore_Karnataka_India.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Carambola_star_fruit_at_organic_food_mela_Bangalore_Karnataka_India.jpg/440px-Carambola_star_fruit_at_organic_food_mela_Bangalore_Karnataka_India.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1360" title="Carambola, Star Fruit Seeds (Averrhoa carambola)" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Unripe Indian carambola</div> </div> </div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="Carambola, Star Fruit Seeds (Averrhoa carambola)" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Sliced_Indian_Carambola_Star_fruit_with_Indian_spices.jpg/220px-Sliced_Indian_Carambola_Star_fruit_with_Indian_spices.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="thumbimage" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Sliced_Indian_Carambola_Star_fruit_with_Indian_spices.jpg/330px-Sliced_Indian_Carambola_Star_fruit_with_Indian_spices.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Sliced_Indian_Carambola_Star_fruit_with_Indian_spices.jpg/440px-Sliced_Indian_Carambola_Star_fruit_with_Indian_spices.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="960" title="Carambola, Star Fruit Seeds (Averrhoa carambola)" /> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Ripe carambola fruit with Indian spices</div> </div> </div> The carambola is a tropical and subtropical fruit which can be grown at elevations up to 1,200 metres (4,000 feet). It prefers full sun exposure, but requires enough humidity and annual rainfall of at least 1,800 mm (70 in).[1][2] It does not have a soil type preference, but will thrive in loam and requires good drainage.[1] Moderate irrigation supports its growth during dry seasons.[1] Heavy rains may inhibit fruit production.[1] Carambola trees are planted at least 6 m (20 ft) from each other and typically are fertilized three times a year. The tree grows rapidly and typically produces fruit at four or five years of age. The large amount of rain during spring actually reduces the amount of fruit, but, in ideal conditions, carambola can produce from 90 to 180 kilograms (200 to 400 pounds) of fruit a year. The carambola tree flowers throughout the year, with main fruiting seasons from April to June and October to December in Malaysia,[20] for example, but fruiting also occurs at other times in some other locales, such as South Florida.[1][8] Growth and leaf responses of container-grown `Arkin' carambola (Averrhoa carambola L.) trees to long-term exposure of 25%, 50%, or 100% sunlight showed that shading increased rachis length and leaflet area, decreased leaflet thickness, and produced more horizontal branch orientation.[21] Major pests are carambola fruit flies, fruit moths, ants, and birds.[1][7][20] Crops are also susceptible to frost.[7] Top producers of carambola in the world market include Australia, Guyana, India, Israel, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and the United States.[8] Malaysia is a global leader in star fruit production by volume and ships the product widely to Asia and Europe.[20] Due to concerns over pests and pathogens, however, whole star fruits cannot yet be imported to the US from Malaysia under current United States Department of Agriculture regulations. In the United States, carambolas are grown in tropical and semitropical areas, including Texas, South Carolina, Louisiana, California, Virginia, Florida and Hawaii.[1][22] In the United States, commercial cultivation and broad consumer acceptance of the fruit only dates to the 1970s, attributable to Morris Arkin, a backyard horticulturalist, in Coral Gables, Florida. The 'Arkin' variety represented 98% of the acreage in South Florida in the early 21st century.[23] <h2>Other uses</h2> The trees are also grown as ornamentals for their abundant brightly colored and unusually shaped fruits, as well as for their attractive dark green leaves and their lavender to pink flowers.[8] Like the bilimbi, the juice of the more acidic sour types can be used to clean rusty or tarnished metal (especially brass) as well as bleach rust stains from cloth. They may also be used as a mordant in dyeing. </body> </html>

Sweet Tropical Carica Papaya-pawpaw Seeds

Papaya, Papaw, or Pawpaw...

€2.25 (SKU: V 22 N)

Seeds Gallery Shop,

5/ 5

<h2>Papaya, Papaw, or Pawpaw Seeds (Carica papaya)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 10 or 100 seeds.</h2> Papaya (Carica papaya L.) - Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency, it is no wonder the papaya was reputably called the "fruit of the angels" by Christopher Columbus. Once considered quite exotic, they can now be found in markets throughout the year. Although there is a slight seasonal peak in early summer and fall, papaya trees produce fruit year-round. Papayas are fruits that remind us of the tropics, the regions of the world in which they are grown. Once considered an exotic fruit, papayas' rise in popularity has made them much more available. Papaya fruits are good sources of Vitamin A, B and C. Papayas are spherical or pear-shaped fruits that can be as long as 20 inches. The ones commonly found in the market usually average about 7 inches and weigh about one pound. Their flesh is a rich orange color with either yellow or pink hues. Papaya has a wonderfully soft, butter-like consistency and a deliciously sweet, musky taste. Inside the inner cavity of the fruit are black, round seeds encased in a gelatinous-like substance. Papaya's seeds are edible, although their peppery flavor is somewhat bitter. The fruit, as well as the other parts of the papaya tree, contain papain, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. This enzyme is especially concentrated in the fruit when it is unripe. Papain is extracted to make digestive enzyme dietary supplements and is also used as an ingredient in some chewing gums. <h2>How To Grow Papaya From Seed</h2> Select a sunny and sheltered place in your garden. That's right, in your garden. Don't start them in pots! Papayas don't transplant well. Anything that disturbs the roots of papayas really sets them back. They just hate it. The most foolproof way to grow papayas is to simply plant them where they are to live. Papaya trees are very, very hungry. That means they need very good soil, rich in organic matter and nutrients. If you don't have fabulous soil, make some. Dig a hole half a meter across and fill it with a mix of good compost and soil. Actually, make at least two or three such planting beds in different locations. Now sprinkle on some of your seeds. A couple of dozen per bed is a good amount. Cover the seeds lightly with more compost, and then mulch the patch well. The seeds usually take about a couple of weeks to germinate, and may take longer. Soon you will notice that your seedlings are very different in size and vigor. That's why we planted so many. Start culling the weaker ones. Pull them out while still small, or cut bigger ones down to the ground. Only keep the very best. At this stage you should keep about half a dozen plants. Papaya plants can be male, female, or bisexual, and you want to make sure that you have some females or bisexual plants amongst your seedlings. The male papayas don't bear fruit. Papayas start flowering when they are about one meter tall. The male's flower first. Male flowers have long, thin stalks with several small blooms. Female flowers are usually single blooms, bigger, and very close to the trunk. Cull most of the male plants. You only need one male for every ten to fifteen female plants to ensure good pollination. And that's it. You should end up with one very strong and healthy female plant per bed. (And a male plant somewhere...) If the weather is warm enough, and if you are growing your papayas in full sun and in good soil, then you could be picking the first ripe fruit within 10 months. How much water? Papayas have large soft leaves. They evaporate a lot of water in warm weather, so they need a lot of water. But unfortunately, papayas are very susceptible to root rot, especially in cool weather. Overwatering is the most common reason for problems when growing papayas. It depends on the temperature and on the overall health and vigor of the plant. A healthier plant will cope better, but in general you should be careful not to overwater during periods of cool weather. Growing Papaya In Cooler Climates If you get at least long hot summers you could grow papaya just as an ornamental plant. In this case you would start them in a pot indoors to gain extra time. Plant them out against a sun-facing wall and enjoy the tropical look. However, you won't be able to keep your papaya alive long enough to get fruit. The only other option is growing papaya in a huge pot, and to keep the pot in a heated greenhouse in winter. You may also grow papaya as an annual decorative plant. <div> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> Sowing Instructions </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Propagation: </td> <td valign="top"> Seeds / Cuttings </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Pretreat: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Stratification: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Time: </td> <td valign="top"> all year round </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Depth: </td> <td valign="top"> 0.5 cm </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Mix: </td> <td valign="top"> Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Germination temperature: </td> <td valign="top"> about 25-28 ° C </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Location: </td> <td valign="top"> bright + keep constantly moist not wet </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Germination Time: </td> <td valign="top"> 2-4 Weeks </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Watering: </td> <td valign="top"> regular watering during the growth period + dry between waterings </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> </td> <td valign="top"> Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena.

<h2>Japanese Persimmon Seeds (Diospyros kaki)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</h2> Japanese Persimmon is a deciduous fruiting tree with a rounded spreading crown that grows 20 to 30 feet tall. This tree is noted not only for its edible fruits but also for its excellent ornamental features. Oval to obovate leaves to 6 inches long emerge yellowish green in spring, mature to glossy green in summer and turning an attractive gold to red in fall. Trees are usually dioecious (separate male and female trees), but some trees have both male and female flowers. Notwithstanding the flower types, trees are parthenocarpic (may set seedless fruit without pollination). Fragrant, non showy flowers bloom in late spring, with the creamy white female flowers appearing solitary and the pink toned male flowers appearing in clusters of three. Edible Persimmon fruits to 4 inches in diameter mature in late fall, and may persist on the tree into winter. The tree is a sight to behold when leaves have fallen in autumn, displaying the bright yellow orange fruits throughout the canopy. Japanese Persimmon is native to Japan and mainland Asia where they have been cultivated for centuries. They were brought to the southern United States in the 1870’s. Fruits may be harvested when the skins reach deep orange. Fruits can be eaten fresh or dried (hoshigaki) and are commonly used in syrups, jellies, ice creams, cakes or pies.

Propagation: Commonly by seed which usually produce trees very near in fruit quality to their parent, but named varieties are propagated through grafts.</div> <div></div> <table style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> Sowing Instructions </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Propagation: </td> <td valign="top"> Seeds </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Pretreat: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Stratification: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Time: </td> <td valign="top"> all year round </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Depth: </td> <td valign="top"> 1 cm </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Mix: </td> <td valign="top"> Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Germination temperature: </td> <td valign="top"> 25 ° C + </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Location: </td> <td valign="top"> bright + keep constantly moist not wet </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Germination Time: </td> <td valign="top"> 2-8 weeks </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Watering: </td> <td valign="top"> Water regularly during the growing season </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> </td> <td valign="top"> Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena.

It is an attractive plant with dark green foliage and fragrant white flowers that appear in late spring but is primarily grown for its tart and sweet pale green fruits. Kiwi is dioecious, which means individual plants have either female flowers or male flowers. So, it is necessary to have at least two vines, one female and one male, for cross-pollination and fruiting. For high productivity, plant these in locations with full sun and rich well-drained soil. Hardy kiwi must be trained on a strong trellis or fence. <div style="text-align: left;"> <table style="width: 612px;" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> Sowing Instructions </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Propagation: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> Seeds </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Pretreat: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> 0 </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Stratification: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> about 2-3 months in a moist substrate at 2-5 ° C refrigerator </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Sowing Time: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> all year round> Autumn / Winter preferred </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Sowing Depth: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> 0,5 cm </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Sowing Mix: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Germination temperature: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> 10-15 ° C </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Location: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> bright + keep constantly moist not wet </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Germination Time: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> 3-12 weeks </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> Watering: </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> Water regularly during the growing season </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="24%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="75%"> Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena.
