Cherimoya #

Annona cherimola

A subtropical fruit tree that thrives in cool, frost-free areas where many tropical species struggle.
It produces creamy, fragrant fruit with a flavour often compared to banana and pineapple, typically eaten with a spoon.
The skin and seeds are toxic and must be removed before eating.
Crushed seeds have been used traditionally to treat lice, though this is not recommended due to toxicity.
Cherimoya is especially prized in parts of South America for its unique fruit and garden appeal.
