My tree is absolutey LOADED this year. I am worried branches are going to break! LOL I love this tree and the fruit is wonderful. Should start getting ripe in a couple of weeks.
Atemoya Heaven!
What a neat looking plant, and so healthy looking. Almost looks like rubber or artificial or something. What is the fruit like?
It is white inside like a sugar apple or cherimoya. Texture is very soft and flavor is quite sweet like melon, pear and banana mixed together. It is delicious! Inside are also shiny black seeds.
Does it grow from a seed? I need to check this out, it is really gorgeous.
I don't know as it is a hybrid-----mine is a grafted plant of the variety called 'Geffner'. You can order these trees from Pine Island Nursery. The fruit is awesome!
It is a really good fruit, I used to eat it all the time in Hawaii...the seeds are beautiful, as I remember, you can dry them out and make jewelry from them. The texture is like a very soft banana, but with more juice
Does Pine Island Nursery have a website?
Yep-

Thanks!
...wishing I had such a tree...
I've addressed this in your post regarding moving this tree. I have some more atemoya info in my blog http://myrarefruitphotos.blogspot.com/
