Annona scleroderma (also known as cawesh or poshe-te) is a species of tree in the Annonaceae family, with an edible fruit the size of an orange.[1] The cream-colored flesh of the fruit has a creamy banana-pineapple flavor and a soft texture. The fruit's tough skin makes it easy to handle. The fruit is little known outside its native region.[2] The tree reaches 15 to 20 meters tall. Its pollen is shed as permanent tetrads.[3]
Its native range is the Atlantic coast of Central America, from Mexico and Guatemala to Honduras. It is not widely cultivated (except in certain parts of Guatemala). A tree grown from seed takes about four years until it begins producing fruit.[4]
