The leaves are large, dark green, and glossy. In spring, the tree produces clusters of large, maroon-coloured flowers that are pollinated by flies and beetles. These flowers give way to the fruit, which is oblong and around 6 inches long. The fruit has a creamy, custard-like texture with a flavour that is similar to a banana or mango.

The tree is also relatively disease and pest-resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice for home gardens and orchards. Two trees with different genetics are required for pollination.

This variety is notable for its ability to withstand cold temperatures and requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for full-sun locations. It typically yields bountiful clusters of delicious, pinkish-tinted bananas within a year. The Dwarf Orinoco is a compact, dual-purpose variety—perfect both as a cooking banana (like a plantain) and as a sweet banana when fully ripe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"flyingdragonnursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47950842069312,"sku":"","price":70.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/7031\/2256\/files\/il-794xN.2293205723_qi1u.jpg?v=1757067360"},{"product_id":"green-sugar-apple-plant","title":"Sugar Apple -  Green","description":"\u003cp\u003eSugar Apples (Annona squamosa), the most widely cultivated member of the Annonaceae family, are also known as \"Sweetsop,\" distinguishing them from \"Soursop\" (Annona muricata, also called Guanabana or Mang cau).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNative to the tropical Americas and West Indies, Sugar Apples are heart-shaped fruits, ranging from 2 to 4 inches in diameter, typically displaying a pale green to blue-green color with a deep pink blush on certain varieties.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheir segmented exterior tends to separate when ripe, revealing a luscious interior filled with many small, shiny dark black\/brown seeds.

Here at the nursery we hand pollinate our sugar apples, which is super easy to do, and very effective. There are many flowers open at the same time, both male and female. The hand pollination is done by simply holding a small cup under a male flower, tapping the flower to release the pollen into the cup, then using a small paint brush to dab the pollen into the female flower. Using a black cup makes it easy to see the yellow pollen.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have found that while being a tropical fruit, they can be grown relatively easily here in Northland with some extra care.
