Asimina triloba 'Shenandoah'

This patented new Southern variety is one of the largest and most flavorful to date, with individual fruits weighing up to 1 pound each! The fruit ripens in mid season and is sweet and flavorful with creamy-yellow, custard-like flesh.

Requires 400 chill hours and 2200 Growing Degree Days (GDD) to set and ripen fruit.
