{"product_id":"822892-1","title":"Apple 'S.a.a. Zimmerman'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis reliable selection from 1982 yields large fruits with few seeds. New York dessert apple grower G.A. Zimmerman introduced this top variety to the market. Use another variety as a pollinator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, this fruit tree, which is quite hardy in our climate and originates from North America and Canada, is becoming increasingly known and popular. The taste of the elongated, yellow-green fruits is truly exotic, resembling banana, mango, and pineapple, and they are packed with vitamins. They are so healthy that there are serious indications of cancer prevention. At least 2 plants are needed for cross-pollination. Young plants prefer shade and some extra winter protection, but later full sun is also fine, and they can handle a harsh winter. Ultimately, they reach a height of 2-5 m; 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 two trees. The first fruits can be expected after about 4 years, preceded in spring by strangely scented white flowers that turn reddish-brown. They do not appreciate sea wind, but they do value slightly acidic soil (on clay soil, ensure plenty of humus) and a layer of mulch. No diseases have been reported in our climate yet, but there is not much experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Asimina triloba\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Roomappel\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":"1 young plant","offer_id":44176137814069,"sku":"822892.1","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/822892.jpg?v=1750781965","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/822892-1","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
