{"product_id":"001355","title":"Strawberry tree, Chinese","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an unknown relative of the mulberry and deserves much more attention! The seedlings grow into large shrubs or small trees, which bear red, (outwardly) strawberry-like fruits. The taste of the fully ripe fruits is very sweet and refreshing like a watermelon. For fruit set, the female plant needs a male, so grow several plants together in the hope that you have both sexes. The fruit ripens in early winter, so wait to pick until it has flavour! This beautiful adventure requires some patience, as flowering and fruiting only occur after 10 years. Prune the tree annually, as flowering and fruiting take place on one-year-old wood. This deciduous (thorned) shrub or tree is completely winter-hardy in our climate, but needs some protection in the first year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Cudrania tricuspidata, or also Maclura tricuspidata\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Strawberry Tree, Chinese\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso: Ché-Fruit\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Ché or Chinese Mulberry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"± 40 seeds (1 g)","offer_id":44175681060917,"sku":"001355","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/001355.jpg?v=1750775002","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/001355","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
