	Sweetsop (Annona Squamosa L.)

The companion of the cherimoya has the sweetsop (The alias:sugar apple) grown in Central America, Egypt, India, and Southeast Asian nations. Besides, there is a Soursop (The alias:Dutch durian) grown in Southeast Asia and Venezuela, etc.

In a hybrid kind which hybridizes the cherimoya with the sweetsop and promotes, there is Atemoya.

It is a compound word of alias Ates of the Sweetsop and the cherimoya.

Atemoya are stronger than cherimoyas in the heat in summer.The climate of Australia and Florida in an American southern part where the temperature is high is not suitable in the cherimoya culture. Therefore, Atemoya is grown.
