Golden Sugar Apple - Pineapple Annona
In this video we talk about a rare hybrid of Annona - Golden Sugar
Apple. This rare Annona is a species originally brought to us from Costa Rica. We
believe it to be a natural hybrid between A. muricata and A. glabra...
Fast growing, it forms a nice bushy specimen. It has a large, up to 1 lb
fruit, green when unripe, turning dark yellow to orange on ripening. The pulp
is golden to orange when ripe, with a strong Pineapple scent, and resembling
Jackfruit in texture. Flavor is like the custard apple but with pineapple,
papaya, apricot and melon overtones. Note that some people dislike the taste,
others find it good...
The tree tolerates flooding. It is also cold hardy! The plant would be very
interesting for rare fruit collectors as it offers a large, exotic fruit of
unusual color and taste, and appears to be much more hardy and water tolerant
than similar looking but sensitive A. muricata, A. montana and Rollinia.

This one is the most wanted variety with
elongated petals that are sweetly scented. Compact and
slow growing shrub, it makes a great houseplant and
flowers freely throughout the year. The most profuse
flowering is from Spring to Summer.
Called pikake in Hawaii, Jasmine sambac is the plant
used to flavor the jasmine tea and making perfumes.
Perfect houseplant takes both sun or shade, it is a
beautiful fragrant everbloomer for your home and garden.
Belle of India is a slow grower, with pale green pointed
leaves and double flowers with elongated narrow petals.
Prefers filtered light for a better look of the leaves,
but will tolerate full sun. In fact the more sun the
more flowers you get.
Secrets of successful culture:
1) use only well-drained potting soil
2) keep the plant a little bit on a dry side so roots
don't get too wet. Water again when the soil gets
slightly dry.
3) Use micro-element mix - SUNSHINE Superfood works
the best. It will keep leaves nice and green and induce
more profuse flowering.
