Atemoya
Geffner
History
One of the most widely planted atemoya cultivars, valued since its introduction for being self-fertile and heavily productive without hand-pollination - a genuine rarity among Annona hybrids, most of which need help setting fruit.
Taste profile
Sweet with a mild tartness, often compared to a pina colada with vanilla notes; smooth, creamy white flesh.
Growing habits
A reliable, heavy producer even without hand pollination, though hand pollination can improve fruit size and uniformity. In Martin County-type South Florida conditions, harvest typically runs August through October, peaking in September.
