Avacadoes are grown primarily for their fruit, which are rich in healthy fats and vitamins. Plants grown from seeds will not maintain the same quality of fruit as the parent plant, but may be grafted to express a certain variety.

Cherimoya, Cherimola, Tope Tope - Annona cherimola

Cherimola trees are grown for their white-fleshed, sweet fruits. The species is somewhat shrubby and spreading, growing to a medium height of 8 to 10m tall. Trees grow best in mild-temperature climates and are not well suited for lowland environments.
