Details

Care
 | Cherimoya prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil but does not tolerate soggy conditions or standing water. Reduce watering during the cooler months when growth naturally slows. |
 | They thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for the healthiest growth and best fruit production. |
 | If planting outdoors, keep in zones 9-11. In colder climates, keep above 32°F! |
 | Feed with a balanced, slow release fruit tree fertilizer during the growing season, typically in spring and summer. |
 | Cherimoya can grow 15-30 ft. tall and 15-20 ft. wide when planted in the ground. With occasional pruning, they can be maintained at 8-12 ft., making them easier to harvest and well suited for home gardens. |
 | Fruits from late fall through early spring, with harvests typically beginning around the sixth year. |
