Asimina triloba - Northern banana (Square pot 9x9x20 cm)

Deciduous tree of modest size, up to 4-5 meters tall, characterized by a grayish trunk and a generally globose crown. The leaves are alternate, lanceolate, 15–20 cm long, hanging. The spring flowering presents cup-shaped flowers of brown-purple color. The fruit is an edible berry that vaguely recalls the flavor of bananas. It has a smooth skin and firm, creamy, sweet and fragrant pulp, white tending to yellow.

Pedoclimatic needs
It adapts to all types of soil, preferring fresh, medium-textured soils without water stagnation. It prefers full sun exposure, because shaded positions would slow down the growth of the plant and the production of fruit. A very rustic tropical fruit plant, it tolerates minimum temperatures reaching -15°/-20°c.
