The "strange" spheres attached on the window frames of the Victoriahouse are weights. The windows open automatically and they close by gravity, by these weights. To make them look more pleasing they encapsuled them with these spherical metal housings. The house was build in 1898 and in 1995 completely reconstructed in accordance with preservation code due to corrosion damage. That´s what the nice person from the Botanical Garden in Bern just told me on the phone. Have you visited the Jardin Botanique in Straßbourg yet?
Amicia zygomeris is root hardy in colder climates, it is popular as a tropical-style garden plant in the UK. The top freezes off but it comes back from the roots the following year. It starts flowering in the fall, but people mostly grow it for the interesting leaves
38:00 was a columnea, epiphytic gesneriad from the americas. all gesneriads have edible fruit? i've eaten a few but i feel too guilty to enjoy them since i prefer sowing the seeds for the hummingbirds. 44:00 was a dahlia imperialis maybe? i was a little surprised to see ficus erecta there but since it's from japan it makes sense. a few months ago i tasted the small fruit here in southern california and it was pretty good. it was a female that ripened without pollination (parthenocarpic). not sure if i mentioned this already but in japan they crossed erecta with carica, and then back onto carica. speaking of figs, i uncovered a very tasty looking fig in the himalayas, ficus timlada. i'm very curious how cold tolerant it is. madagascar would be amazing to visit but in terms of bringing new cold tolerant fruit into cultivation you should visit the himalayas.
Danke für die Tour - ich versuche auch überall, die botanischen Gärten aufzusuchen; nett, den Basler ein wenig kennengelernt zu haben. Das Mooshüsli ist ja niedlich 😂 Übrigens kenne ich einen weiblichen Ginkgo in einem städtischen Park bei mir in der Nähe, der sich ebenfalls erfolgreich reproduziert. Ich zeige den zur Samenreife auch gern bei Mundraub-Touren - allein schon, damit alle mal eine Nase Kotzeduft abbekommen. Diözie, die im Kopf hängenbleibt (der Geruch dann natürlich gerne auch an meinen Pfoten 😅)!
some of the basjoo in Wisley were red stemmed. some plants produce red pigment as response to heat drought or cold stress. possibly here? seems only on the final smooth layer of the stem?
Interesting as always! I have a question off topic… yesterday i saw a Macadamia ternifolia (not labeled integrifolia) growing outdoors! at the botanical garden in Freiburg. at least 2 meters high. Do you know how cold hardy this species is? I didn‘t find anything useful online. M. integrifolia would never survive there
This is very interesting. On tropical fruit forum one guy says they can take 19F. I do not think they could survive in Freiburg since ive never seen any on the Italian lakes.But this is a very bold experiment and i totally approve of it. You never know. Can you send me pictures? Can you tell me where in the garden? Maybe i can check one day
a little bit chaotic presentation We would benefit more if you first before description zoom the plate with a botanical name.I believe you will bring some plants from Indonesia ...

45:24 I believe Lippea dulcis is used as a sweetener in Central America
Very nice overview of this pretty place
Thank you
14:44 Look under that tuliptree for morel mushrooms in spring.

Nice. Wo?
@allthefruit Braunschweig.
Nice
Good content as always
Thank you
28:38 Ficus erecta grows in much of Asia, including Jeju island, Korea.
I got pretty big Franklinia alatamaha tree in my garden. I really love the theaceae family.
Beautiful

13:50 looks like Tibouchina of some sort.

@@allthefruit ok
Ok
48:48 yess, you better to go to madagascar rather than papua

You do it better then. And stop believing
This is what I am working for😅
A botanical garden?
@@allthefruit it's a different animal, Bro.
Some aspects.
I see your passion in what you're doing.
I hope so
I keep calling the fruits of Cephalotaxus harringtonii 'Old Men Fruit', as they are tasting like Rum mixed up with spoiled Mango.
Yeah, true. But with the super strong Austrian rum you do not even need the mango
Not that far from the Tropenhaus Wolhusen
Nice
