A garden plant whose flowers radiate exotic flair, which impresses with its extraordinary taste, has attractive foliage during the summer, which also turns wonderfully in autumn and is also hardy: the Asimina Triloba, in English Indian banana, has all these great properties. Lovers of the plant can be happy, because there are different varieties that harmonize wonderfully with each other.

New breeds have bigger and sweeter fruits

Here are the varieties:

  • "Prism"
  • "sunflower"
  • "Peterson Pawpaw's Shenadoah"
  • "Peterson Pawpaw's Susquehanna"
  • "Peterson Pawpaw's Wabash"

closer forward.

Asimina Triloba "Prima"

This self-fertile Indian banana forms medium to large fruits that contain relatively few seeds. It has yellowish-white flesh, tastes like a mixture of banana, mango and pineapple with a delicate hint of vanilla. Creamy and soft, it can be spooned out raw.

Asimina Triloba "Sunflower"

This new breed from the USA forms very large fruits with attractive yellow flesh. Self-fertile, it bears very aromatic fruits even when young. "Sunflower" is a refinement that, like almost all Indian bananas, survives European winters without any special protection.

Asimina Triloba "Peterson Pawpaws Shenadoah"

Also a new breed from the USA. However, this is not self-fertile and needs a second Indian banana in its vicinity for rich fruit set. 'Shenadoah' is a firm favorite at American farmer's markets because of its highly aromatic fruit with low seed content. The relatively firm, light-colored flesh tastes creamy and sweet.

Asimina Triloba "Peterson Pawpaws Susquehanna"

This Indian banana impresses with its very large fruits, which also taste heavenly sweet. They have a relatively firm texture and are therefore very suitable as an unusual addition to fruit salads.

Asiminia Triloba "Peterson Pawpaws Wabash"

This variety from the USA also inspires fans of exotic fruits with its outstanding fruit quality. The flesh of this Indian banana, which does not self-fruit, is yellow-orange in color, creamy and tastes aromatically sweet.

tips

Since Indian bananas do not ripen until the beginning of October, you should put the attractive exotics in a sunny and warm location. During the summer months you can easily tolerate high temperatures. Since they can grow quite tall and form a relatively closed crown with a diameter of up to 2.50 metres, they are ideal for shading your preferred seating area in the garden and giving it a very special flair.
