Atemoya Annona
The Atemoya (Annona squamosa x Annona cherimola) is a tropical fruit tree that results from the crossbreeding of the sugar apple (Annona squamosa) and the cherimoya (Annona cherimola). Atemoya trees are known for their evergreen foliage, and the fruit they produce is typically heart-shaped with a scaly, bumpy skin. The flesh is creamy, white, and custard-like, with a sweet taste that combines flavors of pineapple, vanilla, and pear. Atemoya fruits are popular in tropical and subtropical regions for their unique and delicious flavor. The tree requires warm climates for optimal growth and is appreciated both for its ornamental value and the delectable fruit it produces.
