Chaffey Cherimoya Tree
Annona cherimoya ‘Chaffey’
Chaffey Cherimoya is a premium grafted variety known for its smooth, creamy texture and balanced sweet flavor. It performs well in coastal and mild inland climates across California, making it a strong choice for Bay Area gardens.
This is a grafted tree in a 5 gallon container, which means it is already on a mature rootstock and can begin fruiting earlier compared to seed-grown trees. With proper care, you may see flowers within a couple of seasons.
The fruit has soft, custard-like flesh with a rich, tropical taste. It is often considered one of the best cherimoya varieties for home growers due to its consistent performance and fruit quality.
