Atemoya Trees
- The Atemoya tree is a hybrid of Cherimoya and Sweetsop. This tree is hardier and is well suited for South Florida and mature trees can be grown in areas of Florida with temperatures as low as 26 degrees. Several varieties are available and some are still being evaluated. Improved cultivars include Geffner and Lisa. Lisa is a result of the work of Mr. Gary Zill and Har Mahdeem.
Atemoya Lisa is a beauty and delicious fruit too. Want to learn about how they are pollinated click the image.
Atemoya Lisa
Lisa aka: 48-26 produces grayish red colored fruits that are sweet and delicious! Atemoya Lisa is described as hyper- productive and will set fruit quiet heavily. Be sure to remove small mis-shaped fruits and fruit at branch tips. Leave fruit at the base of branches. Fruit growing at the base of branches will taste better and be less likely to cause limb breakage.
Most nurseries that graft trees, generally graft onto Sugar Apple or Custard Apple. Grafting onto Cherimoya produces a superior tree that is more cold tolerant and will have a longer lifespan. All our Atemoya trees are on Cherimoya rootstocks. Trees can produce fruit from August to January.
Pruning your Atemoya Tree
Young trees should be pruned in March as buds break, just before new leaves begin to grow.
Atemoya also benefits from a June pruning. Pruning in June stimulates additional flowering and fruit production. Do not prune the trees in the winter months. Atemoya trees can be kept between 8 - 10 feet high.
