Notes
Cherimoya (Annona cherimola) is a tree for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and bees and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Little Gem southern magnolia, Night-blooming jasmine, and Shrimp plant.
