Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- Sweet custard flesh you eat with a spoon. Lisa tends to come a little later and is one of the cleaner eating atemoyas.
- Ripens
- Late summer into fall. Pick when the fruit gives slightly, then finish it indoors until it is fragrant and soft.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- Frost will mark young wood. A Naples winter is fine if you cover a hard freeze.
- Size
- A small tree, often 12 to 18 feet. Easier to hand-pollinate because you can reach the flowers.
- Tips
- On a dry evening when flowers are open, move pollen with a small brush. Humid nights without that step mean fewer fruit.
- Pollination
- Hand-pollination makes the crop. A second annona nearby helps, but the brush matters more.
