Latin Name: Caragana arborescens

DESCRIPTION

Family: Leguminosae

Native Range: Europe and Asia

Seed Source: Seed production orchard near Indian Head Saskatchewan

Height and Spread (25 years): 6m x 3m

Overview: An introduced shrub growing to six meters high. The 'Ross' seed strain was selected for its outstanding cold and drought hardiness. First introduced to Canada in the late 1800s, it became the number one species in western Canada planted for soil erosion control. It is a legume and fixes nitrogen. The 'Ross' seed strain is named in honour of Norman MacKenzie Ross who pioneered shelterbelt tree planting in the Canadian Prairies.

Caragana is an extremely hardy and vigorous shrub that is well adapted to the prairies. This seed strain was first introduced from Russia by Mennonite settlers to Manitoba in the late 1800s. From then on it has been the widely used for shelterbelt planting across the entire prairie region.

Caragana belongs to the legume family and fixes its own nitrogen. This means it will grow equally well in low nutrient and fertile soils. Under prairie conditions and with good care, ‘Ross’ caragana can reach a height of six meters (18 feet) in about 10 years.

Caragana is meant to be used in the southern prairies where moisture and soil conditions limit the variety of shrub species that grow well. It should never be planted in or near a forest environment, once established in the forest it can spread quickly and be difficult to control or eradicate.

Fruit: Dark brown linear pods 3 to 5 cm long.

Average number of seeds/packet: 300

SEED TREATMENT / SOWING

Stratification: Soak seeds for 24 hours in water at room temperature.

Ideal sowing time: Spring

Sowing instructions: Sow 2 cm deep, 50 seeds/meter; Greenhouse - sow 3 seeds per cell.

Prior to sowing, soak the seed for about two days in fresh water at room temperature (change water once to ensure freshness). If you have access to a legume inoculant, lightly coat the seed with it prior to sowing. The inoculant will help to activate the nitrogen fixing ability of the caragana sooner.

Sow in rows the same as radish or any similar garden seed. An ordinary garden seeder will handle this seed nicely. Sow the seed at a depth of 3/4 to 1 inch, never more than 1 1/2 inches with 12 to 18 seeds to the foot. Fall sowing seed generally gives the best results when sown from October 1 to just before freeze-up. If sown in the spring, get the seed in just as early as possible, and if the soil freezes again after sowing, so much the better. Leave enough space for cultivation between the rows. The seedlings should average from 10 inches to 18 inches the first season, which is a good size for shelterbelt planting.

Growing conditions: Best growth on well-drained light and medium-textured soils.  Fertilization is not required.  Will tolerate slightly saline conditions.

For establishment of shelterbelts, planting of seedlings will in most cases produce the best results, they can be started from seed; providing the ground is well worked and free of weeds. Crop land can be weedy which will quickly choke out young emerging seedlings before are established. Whether started from seed or seedlings, it is necessary to keep the soil well cultivated on both sides and in the row for three or four years. This can be done quite conveniently with a small cultivator or disc. As the caragana grows, the cultivated strip will need to be widened. Never sow or plant caragana in a low spot where water may lie for even a short time in spring. The plants will likely die under wet conditions. For a caragana hedge plant 2-3 deeds 18 inches (45cm) apart ¾ to 1 inch deep in mid May.

AGROFORESTRY VALUE

Excellent for farm or field shelterbelts or landscape hedges where a tough hardy plant is needed. 'Ross' caragana is extremely drought tolerant that forms a dense hedge useful as a windbreak for snow and wind management.

In LOVE
I have had so many issues finding bras that will fit. I'm picky with sensitive skin and a general hate for having to wear bras of any kind. I also I struggle with body dysmorphia and go between tolerance/hate of my tatas. Being a 40DDD is not fun with these issues, but I've found that wearing minimizer bras vs trying to bind to hide has been better for my overall self image (and way more comfortable). So I have looked high and low for different bras that support me, are attractive, and don't break the bank. This is IT. It's very sexy while working as an everyday bra and my partner LOVES the sheer and little strappy detailing. It supports just how I need it and has honestly given me some confidence back. I can't wait to keep coming back for this bra. Please keep this in stock lol. Sum up of the details that win me over: The overall look is sexy, its very soft, the banding is wide and does not dig into me (also has like 4 hooks?), the underwire is near perfect in that it supports and doesn't tend to dig unless it works its way up some, and it gives me a lovely shape that I don't normally have with how low I tend to hang, I fully fit in the cups (bell shaped, wide set) with no spillage.

Not very comfortable
Color: Black, Size: 42D
Just okay. Provides support but doesn’t particularly minimize and isn’t very comfortable.

This bra is all in one, super comfortable.
Size: 36DD, Color: Brown Purple - Unlined
This bra exceeded my expectations! I’ve always struggled to find one that truly feels comfortable—one with soft fabric that actually keeps everything in place. With this bra, I’ve finally found it all in one! It is incredibly comfortable—so much so that it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. If you have a large bust like mine, buy it—you won’t regret it.

Supportive and true to size
Size: 34G, Color: Beige - Unlined
I really like the quality and fit of this bra. My only complaint is that there is no padding at all so I have to be careful if it's cold.

Cooling and Sleek Feel
Size: 42D, Color: Glaze Purple - Unlined
Fits true to size. A little snug at first but the fabric eases up and relaxes as you wear it. And that’s true for the cups too. It loses its firm hold as you wear it. Don’t size up if it’s tight at first. For summer, its a very cooling lightweight sling. The fabric is sleek, smooth and cooling. (Not peached or padded) Doesnt offer much lift or shaping, but good enough for cooling comfort.
