the Annona genus of trees:

Annonaceae:  Annona

There are actually more than 2000 members of the Annonaceae family of plants,  but of the genus annona, only about 6 or 7 are commonly found in American nurseries and Florida backyards.

Optimum growing conditions are 74-93 degrees, with 70% humidity or more, and possibly wind protection.   Must be protected from frost,  though mature trees of some of the annonas can tolerate short spells of temperatures down to 29-30 degrees.  Some, not all !

Many of the early introductions were challenging to establish and required hand pollination because the native insect pollinator beetles don't exist here.  

Newer cultivars are being either bred or introduced that are self pollinating, and much heavier producers of fruit.
