Annona cherimola (Cherimoya) Vintage Botanical Print – 1756 Plantae Selectae

Discover the botanical elegance of Annona cherimola, commonly known as Cherimoya. This exquisite 18th-century botanical print, originally featured in Plantae Selectae (1756), presents the plant’s broad, velvety green leaves, delicate cream-colored flowers, and distinctive heart-shaped fruit in stunning detail.

Native to the Andean valleys of South America, particularly Peru and Ecuador, Annona cherimola thrives in subtropical climates, where it is prized for its sweet, custard-like fruit. The tree’s fragrant flowers have an intricate pollination process, often requiring assistance from insects or hand pollination to produce its delicious fruit. Cherimoya's soft, creamy pulp is reminiscent of a blend of banana, pineapple, and mango, making it a treasured delicacy in tropical horticulture.

Historically, Annona cherimola has been cultivated for both its culinary and medicinal properties. Its fruit is highly valued for its rich nutritional content, including vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial compounds. The plant has also been traditionally used in herbal remedies, making it both a delicious and functional addition to natural medicine.
