Description

Annona scleroderma (Posh-te)

1 year old seedlings

TBT Title: Nature’s Custard in a Kevlar Suit.

Description:

If a soursop and an avocado had a mysterious rainforest lovechild, it would probably be Annona scleroderma. This rare tropical fruit tree sports a tough, thick skin that protects a sweet, creamy, custard-like fruit inside — like dessert grown straight on a tree. Perfect for anyone who likes a little armor with their snack.

Native Distribution:

Central America’s humid forests — this beauty thrives in tropical climates and loves warm, steady moisture.

Light & Water Needs:

Bright filtered light to partial sun; regular watering that keeps soil moist but well-drained. It’s no diva, but it likes consistent care.

Fun Facts:

• The name scleroderma means “hard skin,” which perfectly describes this fruit’s protective armor.
• Also called “Cawesh” or “Posh-te,” it’s a cousin to the soursop but with a uniquely rich custard texture.
• Grown with classical music and occasional bad singing here at The Bodhi Tree — proven to boost plant morale.

Available:

Two foot-long seedlings — only 2 left!
