The taste of the elongated, yellow-green fruits (5-15 cm) is truly exotic, leaning towards banana, mango, and pineapple, and is packed with vitamins. So healthy, that there are serious indications of cancer prevention. At least 2 plants are needed for cross-pollination. Young plants prefer shade and need some extra winter protection; later, full sun is also fine, and they can withstand a harsh winter. Eventually reaching 2-5 m in height, pruning is recommended to prevent even taller growth! The tree's structure is slightly taller than it is wide, so in the long run, a tree circle of 3-4 meters is advisable. Maintain a minimum distance of 4 m between 2 trees. The first fruits can be expected after about 4 years, preceded in spring by strangely scented, white to reddish-brown flowers. They do not appreciate sea wind, but slightly acidic soil (ensure plenty of humus in clay soil) and a layer of mulch are highly valued by the trees. Nothing is yet known about disease infestations in our climate, but there is not much experience yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Asimina triloba\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Custard Apple\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso known as: Pawpaw or Prairie Banana\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Indiana Banana \/ Poor Man's Banana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"5 seeds","offer_id":44176229990453,"sku":"241500","price":5.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 seeds","offer_id":44176230023221,"sku":"241500.1","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/241500.jpg?v=1750784391","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en-eu\/products\/241500","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
