•1000s Many can be found in “Artportalen” Very few are protected

•Most old gardens contain some relict plants If the garden is protected by “Plan och bygglagen” or “kulturminneslagen” and the regulations explicitly mention the plant and gives directions for it shall be treated. Inventories are, however, rarely made before the regulations are decided.

•Humulus lupulus at several localities in northern Uppland No protection

Very few garden centers have old plant material, e.g. Herbert ArvidssonUsually bought from garden centers that carry the same or similar plant.
