Atemoya Fruit Tree ‘African Pride’ (Atemoya hybrid)

Also called Pineapple Sugar Apple, Atemoya ‘African Pride’ is a delicious, high-quality tropical fruit that is a cross between Cherimoya and Sugar Apple. ‘African Pride’ produces large, bumpy fruit with juicy, white inner flesh that tastes slightly sweet and tart with a custard-like texture. There are large black seeds inside the fruit. It is easier to grow than a Cherimoya since it flowers and fruits at a young age much like the Sugar Apple. It is a large grower in tropical zones yet in the north, it’s easy to grow as a container plant and can be maintained at 5-6’ tall with pruning. It blooms in summer with fruit ripening in mid-winter and then it has a dormant period when the tree can be deciduous. Like many Custard Apples outside of their native range, it needs hand pollination for good fruit set.
