The Broccoli Tree in Huskvarna

The Swedish City Huskvarna is most known for the Husqvarna factory that was founded in 1689. The factory produces outdoor products as robot lawn mowers, garden tractors, chainsaws and trimmers that are sold all over the world. But the city is also known for the Broccoli Tree that you can find at the bathing place Oset in Huskvarna.

The photographer Patrik Svedberg took the first image of a willow tree at Oset in Huskvarna in 2013. Just over two years and hundreds of pictures later, the tree has become known worldwide as "The Broccoli Tree". It has it's own instagram account and many followers around the globe.

This is my home town - Husqvarna

All around the World people are familiar with the Swedish brand Husqvarna. But it's not only a brand like IKEA and Volvo. Huskvarna is also a Swedish town that was founded for a little more than 100 years ago and are built around the Husqvarna Factory.

People often travel through the town by car, bus or train. But most people don't stop to visit the city, they are heading somewhere else. Therefore, I have decided to post pictures from Huskvarna in this album so that all of you all over Sweden and the World who are curious about Huskvarna and it's surroundings shall be able to visit the city through my pictures.

A couple of years ago I made a promise to the legendary Huskvarna photographer Conny Rich to try to take over his mantle and document the town with all it's pros and cons as he did for decades. Even if I know that I never can live up to Connys high standard and reputation I will try to do the best I can to continue to document the city and it's citizens till it's time fore someone else to take over the mantle.
