Cherimoya Tree

Cherimoya Tree

Product description

Grow the fruit Mark Twain called “the most delicious fruit known to men.” The Cherimoya has creamy, custard-like flesh with a sweet, aromatic flavor that tastes like a blend of banana, pineapple, and papaya. Growers often call it the “ice cream fruit.”

It grows best in mild, frost-free areas of California, such as coastal and inland Southern California. Fruit ripens from fall through spring, so you get a long harvest when most trees are resting. For the best crops, plan to hand-pollinate the flowers. We’ll walk you through it in our growing guide.
