- The elongated yellow-green fruits have a truly exotic taste, similar to bananas, mangoes, and pineapples, and are full of vitamins. They are so healthy that they have strong indications for cancer prevention. At least two plants are needed for quality pollination.
- Young plants like shade and should be protected in winter, but later they can tolerate full sun and can withstand a harsh winter. They can grow to a height of 2-5 m, and pruning is recommended to prevent even taller growth!
- The tree's structure is slightly taller than it is wide, so a spacing of 3x4m +- is recommended in the long term.
- You can expect the first fruits in about 4 years, preceded in spring by strangely scented, white to reddish-brown flowers.
- Slightly acidic soil is suitable (on clay soil, it requires sufficient humus), and the trees will greatly appreciate a layer of mulch.
- There is no known damage from disease in our climatic conditions, but there is not much experience yet.
