Leo’s #3 Atemoya Tree

Description

Leo #3 Atemoya is one of the best tasting Annona varieties available.

This variety was bred by the distinguished grower Leo Manuel in San Diego. He created this beautiful fruit by crossing an Atemoya (Cherimoya X Sugar Apple) back with another Cherimoya. The result was a fruit with an exotic appearance, flavor as good as any cherimoya, and easier to grow in the United States.

The flavor of Leo’s #3 Atemoya is incredibly complex, with almost exaggerated tropical flavors. The fruit retains some chewy qualities from its sugar apple genetics, but is undeniably sweet and melting in the mouth. Few have had fruit this flavorful.

I have seen this variety sold as “guanamoya’ due to its flavor being reminiscent of soursop.
