Grafted African Pride Atemoya Fruit Tree - Self-Fruiting Variety

**You are purchasing a tree similar in size to the one pictured.

African Pride is one of the best Annonas, often having a fruitier, more tropical flavor than the cherimoya. Fruits tend to be larger than the size of a sugar apple, often having knobby, green skin, and a custard-like flesh with a bit more chew than a cherimoya. Fruits may turn slightly yellow when ripe. Unlike most annona fruits, African Pride sets fruit without hand pollination, however hand pollinating will usually increase production.

An atemoya is normally heart-shaped or rounded, with pale-green, easily bruised, bumpy skin. Near the stem the skin is bumpy as it is in the sugar apple but become smoother like the Cherimoya on the bottom. The flesh is not segmented like that of the Sugar Apple, bearing more similarity to that of the Cherimoya. It is very juicy and smooth, tasting slightly sweet and a little tart, reminiscent of a pina colada. The taste also resembles vanilla from its sugar apple parent.
