« on: September 30, 2023, 12:38:50 PM »
Hey all,
I need to trim two of my lesser known, but awesome, fruit bushes and thought I would offer cuttings up to the forum
The first is
Rosa roxburghii “Cili” “Sweet Chestnut Rose”
Stout shrub 4–8′ tall. Thorned branches, long pinnate leaves. 2″+ pale pink to purple-pink flowers, sweetly scented. Unusual orange-yellow fruit blushing red, globose to 1.5″+ and covered in small prickles. Native to southwest China. The fruit can be eaten fresh with a mild pineaple-like flavor. Traditionally made into a jam and wine, the dried fruit is brewed into a sweet tea that is said to strengthen all faculties and enhance longevity. The leaves are used as a green tea substitute. The fruit is rich in minerals, vitamin C and E, beneficial polyphenols, polysaccharides and SOD. Studies have shown the fruit is a strong antioxidant with anticancer potential, cardiovascular benefits and cognitive enhancement. Easy to grow, sun to part shade, rich, moist soil. We offer seed grown plants from strains selected for their darker fruit color and medicinal value. Z6a
More cold tolerant than a lot of the species on here, pretty flowers, good fruit, and medicinal leaves
Green yearling cuttings wrapped in parafilm (at least 3 nodes) - $5
Hardwood cuttings wrapped in parafilm - $12
And second-
Lycium andersonii “Desert Goji/Wolfberry”
Solanaceae. Densley branched thorned shrub to 3–6’+. Semi-succulent leaves. Yellow/lavender tubular flowers followed by small round edible berries. Seed from Baja. Drought deciduous. Heat, drought and sun tolerant. A good choice for the arid edible landscape. The berries are rich in beneficial phytonutrients. Z8
This has been a 0 care plant for me and produces really high quality, but small, goji berries- the best I have tasted and are good for eating fresh
Hardwood cuttings wrapped in parafilm - $6
I also have a very small amount of Red Veined Indonesian Mitragyna speciosa and one fruiting Escalarte jaboticaba branch that prices can eb worked out over PM of anyone is interested
Shipping added at the end
I'll post some pics later
Cheers
