Olea capensis (black ironwood tree) is a tree in the olive family that is mainly found in West to Central Africa and South Africa.
Its wood is similar to that of the olive tree, but is somewhat heavier.
It grows to a height of 40 meters.
The winter zone classification is 10.

Alibizia anthelmintica is a fast-growing shrub or small tree (maximum height 10 meters).
It spreads from Namibia and South Africa to Kenya and Tanzania.
The plant prefers sunny and warm conditions.
The winter zone classification is 10.
At least 5 degrees is recommended for overwintering.
Ideally, the seeds should be sown in a germ-free substrate.
The seeds should be soaked in lukewarm water for 24 hours beforehand.
We recommend using coconut pellets in combination with perlite/vermiculite.
The sowing temperature should be at least 20 degrees.
The seeds should be sown in a bright location and kept moist.

A wonderful hobby: growing tree species that are resistant to global warming. It’s fun, it calms you down, you have the feeling of “doing something”, of making a small contribution to resilience. One thing is certain: native species are extremely important for supporting biodiversity. Unfortunately, it is also fairly certain that many native species will have a hard time in 30 or 40 years, as we need species that are adapted to the heat.
Whenever there is a bit of time, we indulge in this lovely hobby in the evenings and repot seedlings grown from seed. Many, many tree seedlings have made it, and climate warming-resistant tree species are now growing. Many oak species (including native species such as Quercus petraea, the sessile oak) but also several species from global “hot zones”. Quercus douglasii, for example (the blue oak from California), or Quercus faginea (the Portuguese oak). Tree species that are resistant to global warming will also be of great service to us here, even if they are still unfamiliar.
And a classic “secret weapon”. Castanea sativa, the sweet chestnut. It can cope with extreme heat and drought and has already made itself at home in southern Germany. Available here in our store, for example.
Many plant species are protected with sheep’s wool. This retains moisture for a very long time. Even tree species that are resistant to global warming initially require strong protection. Clay balls and vermiculite (a layered silicate used to loosen the soil and store moisture) are used for this purpose. The joy is particularly great when initially weak seedlings gain a big boost due to a change in the soil. Clay balls and vermiculite, for example, ensure that the soil becomes more permeable to oxygen (here is an interesting article on vermiculite: https://vermiculite.de/anwendungen/vermiculite-pflanzenzucht/gemueseanbau-und-blumenzucht/, coffee powder and goat manure, for example, provide much-needed nutrients (depending on the tree species).
I’m really looking forward to it: In the fall and winter, lots of fresh seeds are coming in, from all over the world. Heat-resistant, hardy, drought-resistant, including many acorn and oak species.
Lots of whirling in the “climate protection garden”. Trees are grown from seeds here. Buying acorns internationally. Special oaks, acorns and other seeds for collectors and plant enthusiasts. Many species resistant to global warming. Many climate trees. E.g. seeds of plane trees, pines, cypresses and more..https://quercus.guru/.
It is currently mid-season and sales will not start again until the fall. Today, for example, Castanea Sativa (sweet chestnut), cork oaks (Quercus suber) and sessile oaks are planted. It’s a lot of fun, and the species will survive even 1.5 degrees.
Cedrus Libani (Lebanon cedar) is highly resistant to global warming. It can grow to be over 1000 years old and up to 50 meters high.
The Lebanon cedar grows along the Mediterranean coast, in Lebanon and in parts of Anatolia. In Europe, the tree is predicted to have a golden future due to global warming.

Pinus cembra (stone pine) is originally found in the Carpathians and the Alps. It can live up to 1000 years. It is considered very frost-hardy (down to -40 degrees).
