Atemoya (Annona squamosa × Annona cherimola) is a tropical to subtropical fruit tree that produces delicious, custard-like fruits with a sweet, creamy flavor—often described as a blend of pineapple, vanilla, and banana. It grows best in full sun with well-drained soil and regular watering, and benefits from light pruning to maintain shape and encourage air flow. The fruit is prized in food forests for fresh eating and smoothies, while parts of the tree (like seeds and leaves) are not edible due to natural toxins.
