Known simply as atemoya, this sought-after red-skinned selection is grown for its large, heart-shaped fruit filled with sweet, creamy white flesh. It forms a small, spreading tree with broad, soft green leaves and an unmistakably exotic presence. The fruit of Annona × atemoya 'Red Israel' has a rich, aromatic flavour often compared to a blend of pineapple, banana and vanilla, making it one of the finest of all custard-apple types.
